I don't even think you can define homoiconicity both properly in a way that captures what you want to capture.

Even the Wikipedia introduction at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoiconicity agrees that the concept is 'informal' at best and meaningless at worst.
Last I checked, 6 months is still more time than 0 time. Not sure your point with this comparison
Given the confusion around, eg, the 2008 financial crisis I just flat out reject that there was 1 lesson in the 1930s that was so unambiguous that the debate is settled. It is a ridiculous claim. There was so much going on and so many people always pop up in a crisis trying to muddy the waters to get their preferred policy through. Look at the minimum wage debate - still unsettled despite what I would consider overwhelming evidence in theory and practice. And whatever anyone's personal beliefs, if that can't be settled there is no way at all that the inflation/deflation question has a firm answer from one event in the 1930s.

Especially given that "prices always up"="good" is counter-intuitive and I can't find anyone with a clear argument in favour of inflation. There is lots of gobbledegook and occasionally people who make arguments equivalent to holidays being bad because they reduce economic output. Which is an argument but not very persuasive, I'd prefer to optimise towards an end state where I get to live out a permanent comfortable holiday; even if the economic metrics go down. I like comfort.
It's called a living document because you can amend it.
oooo the forbidden linear algebra equation. bd move lets see how this plays out!
>I think the issue under discussion is whether or not this kind of law is applied gently and with consideration to seriousness, or whether it tends to be used as a club to make an example of people.

I'm not sure how you got that impression from the original exchange of:

>up to 20 years. Realistically some kid downloading a model would get probation [...]
The Video Game History Foundation library opens in early access
Yeah, I agree. I think my perception of the second article was coloured by prior knowledge I had from the first, because on review, it is rather myopic too, it doesn't give useful context that was in the first. That said, I do find its myopia less sinister because I am inclined to believe that "rationalism", while I'm quite negative on it, and it probably contributes to these people's superiority complexes, is less likely the root cause than things which are.... I'm trying to be delicate here.... more sensical in light of the trans angle.

I disagree that you can't get anything useful out of trash though. Media literacy requires reading between the lines of what is written by multiple people with differing perspectives on a matter and sorting the wheat from the chaff. It's primarily trash, almost entirely trash, there is no choice but to go dumpster diving, or throw your hands up in despair and decide you're just not going to bother at all. The latter option is tenable in and of itself, but when I observe it in practice from people around me, it usually equates in practice to just lazily applying your prior biases to anything you hear about and being an obnoxious and uninteresting conversational partner.
Every resident/household in NYC having their own metal trash can would mean the streets and sidewalks near dense apartment buildings would just be covered in cans.

I’m not sure what the optimal pickup rate is but it should be more than once a week, especially in the summer. NYC apartment dwellers don’t have room to store full trash bags inside, and are generally discouraged from doing so to avoid attracting vermin, and you don’t want trash putrifying in the summer heat on the street for a week.
The cut was determined by greed.

Technically cryptocurrencies were meant to be held and exchanged directly, without an exchange.

Of course that isn’t convenient for non-enthusiasts…

How fortunate we are that crypto exchanges, run by private companies with little government regulation, operate out of the goodness of their heart /s…
> That reminds me of Hong Kong, where I used to live and which maintains a large sovereign wealth fund to ensure its currency is pegged to the US dollar.

That doesn't sound like a soverign wealth fund. Foreign currency reserves are not the same thing as a soverign weath fund.
The US is still the most powerful economy in the world. No question about it.
What I was questioning was the argument from OP that it never have been as dominant since WWII. And no, the US has been way more powerful in the past, even if it is still the most powerful economy.
Reddit needs to be taken down. The aggressive censorship on default subs of any opinion that isn't far-left should be prohibited by law.

By allowing bots to astroturf at this scale, Reddit is certainly abusing its position of power to influence elections.

If Meta did this, everyone would be outraged and Zuck would be in front of Congress tomorrow. But Reddit gets a free pass? Nonsense.

Edit: I say this as someone with 5 figures invested in Reddit.
This title is wrong, besides not matching the headline (which is rightish, and definitely more right than this title).

Apple requested a stay pending their appeal of the judge's order.
The stay pending appeal was denied by this judge.

That is not the same as an appeal being denied.
At all. It just means the judge has said he will not stop the trial while they appeal his order.

In practice, the next step will be for them to ask the appeals court for a stay instead, which they already did.

If that is denied, it will be worse for them, and if their actual appeal is denied, then they will have lost something.
All I had to do was look at this regime.
These are not the only 6 engineers working for DOGE, just the youngest. They have supervision as well.
How is it "progressive" to allow public safety issues to disproportionately impact vulnerable populations?
No need to guess when they’ve already publicly stated it.
Tell me exactly how I will miss your right arm and the thousands wasted on feeding you. Be specific please.

As the saying goes, "I don't know how to explain to you that you should care about other people."
This sounds like great advice! Take the move in stride, be positive, and play the long game.
In general, resorting to the IMF is not a good sign to begin with.

What were Bukele's goals with his policy of adopting bitcoin?
The "high risk" list is where the breadth comes in
> There you have two teams determined to beat the other at all costs

On the surface. It's all kayfabe though; heels and babyfaces. Just like with wrestling, the media know the score, and all the angles. After the match, they all laugh and joke together on the depraved billionaire owner's megayacht.
And sometimes you need to tell the world you're a clown.
Would it matter much? It seems like the election is fueled on false narratives and outright lies amplified by social media and technology that many of us here helped to build. Apathy is a real thing but at least close to half the population fully intended to and did vote for their choice of leadership. What can we (generalized we in the tech community) now combat this?
"I preemptively left the country last year".

Where did you go? I am in a position to leave, but not sure where to go.

IANAL, so a grain of salt and all that.

> It'd be interesting to find out why people think moving the USAID organization under the Secretary of State is unconstitutional.

If there are no existing laws to prevent this, then it probably is legal. Given the voluminous laws in existence, I would not be surprised if there was one out there which is relevant.

> If they do not disperse the money as directed by Congress to specific causes by the end of the fiscal year then there is a problem, but not until September 30th

While this might be a "strict letter of the law" kind of thing (again IANAL), violating the spirit of a law is still illegal. Disbursement schedules are a real thing, with real-world impact when they are not adhered to, and can cause very real problems.
The ranking member (senior Democrat) on the intelligence committee voted against the ban (https://www.ctinsider.com/columnist/article/tiktok-ban-jim-h...):

> One key for him is that it’s only a possible threat. Our best intelligence, including in a briefing for Congress from the Biden administration Tuesday, is that the Chinese government has not actually done the things the ban fears.

Also, from a recent All-In interview (https://www.happyscribe.com/public/all-in-with-chamath-jason...):

> I look to Jim Himes, who is the senior Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, the ranking member. He's in what's called the Gang of Eight. He has the most exquisite access to intelligence. Jim voted against the ban. And I thought, you know what? If this guy is not seeing anything on the national security level.

> [00:44:36] There was an off the record or confidential briefing to the House Intelligence Committee. You think in that meeting, there was nothing that was very meaningful that was disclosed about TikTok?

> [00:44:45] Nothing that I had seen. Is it owned by the Chinese government? Absolutely. But is there a national security risk? I have not seen that.
That is speech.

I'm sorry but I have yet to see a single person who makes this point admit that it's a form of speech suppression. This is classic First Amendment precedent. Just because the speaker is someone you don't like, or its content is anti-American (or what have you), doesn't mean it's not protected speech.
You're rationalizing his fascist salutes.

What a steaming pile of shit from this current administration
Selling a speculative investment for a necessity screams: "I don't understand personal finance."
Well, if you're successful you don't need an IMF loan...
>Trump is doing exactly what the people who put him in office asked him to do

I challenge you to find 1 in 30 Trump voters who could say what USAID stands for or its intended purpose or any of its effects on global politics.

So I dont know about "exactly"...
Why does the frequency even need to be centrally decided?
Yes, this is the same guy that was photographed raising his fist to the crowed, but then seen in video scurrying away from the scary crowd
Panic-analyzer looks like it is based on heuristics, searching for known-panicing APIs. I tried it on a workspace that uses io::stdout() and it did not flag this as potentially panicing.

No-panic looks nifty: it appears to be reliable, which is great. I wish there was an easy way to automatically apply this annotation to every single function in a given file or crate.
Yet another egregious violation of the Bill of Rights.
Yes perhaps one day cities like Tokyo will catch up
oooo the forbidden linear algebra equation. Bold move, lets see how it plays out.
Yes, natural selection judges ethical models just like it judges everything else.

I've got good news for those people, you can't buy toilet paper with bitcoin today. And they aren't getting paid in bitcoin today, either. And if they tried to exchange bitcoin for fiat to buy toilet paper, they'd be subject to incredible fees that would make such a transaction pointless.
They are a private business in search of a problem that is unnecessary for federal and state agencies to rely on for idp and identity proofing services.
Prepare your kid for the future! Make sure she grows up thinking that machines are people, and trusting everything they say! Because the corporations that make the machines will keep you and your kids' welfare as their top priority!
Never heard of the Xerox Palo computer and I worked at Xerox for much of the 80s. Xerox made a lot of different machines (mostly but not exclusive in the D-Machine family) but if there was a Palo machine I’d be interested in seeing a photo.
I believe that the real point is not to prevent access to information, but rather to prevent production of wrongthink.

Any fact which the model trainer wishes to disappear — whether that is what happened at Tiananmen Square between April and June 1989, any other inconvenient fact — will simply not be capable of being discussed. It’s a censor’s dream.

We need local models without so-called guardrails or ‘safety.’
They care about the economic stability of a country they make loans to. Their loans often come with conditions about how the government can run fiscal or trade policy.

I don't know if that is good or bad but I have heard smart economists argue both sides.
During his first term, Trump was the one who stopped all the records from being released automatically. This is his MO, to claim as victory something that would have happened without him opening his mouth in the first place.
Wow what a sensationalist clickbait. The bill says nothing about deepseek.

" bill that would make it illegal to import or export artificial intelligence products to and from China"

Also it makes importing illegal, which means that you as a consumer wouldn't even be able to run it (ip or dns block).
It's impossible to get these people to stop deluding themselves. My dad is a contractor and literally watched Trump's tariffs make his job harder and his materials more expensive from 2016-2020, and still has all the spreadsheets that show how much it has affected his clients and how the price never came down

You can bet your ass he still voted for Trump. "I don't even like the guy" he insists.

The farmers that voted for Trump in droves in 2016 got FUCKED by his tariffs and retaliation from China. Trump had to sign off billions of dollars to offset their losses. They still voted for him in droves. Vibes don't care about the very clear data on the spreadsheet.

A huge portion of my state's lobster industry goes to China, because there literally is not a big enough market here in the states. Selling to China took the industry from barely staying afloat and selling lobster for cheaper than beef half the time, to being a healthy industry that didn't have to worry about oversupply. They will be fucked if China notices. They still voted for Trump.

All these people have FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE with how much Trump hurts our economy. They don't care. "immigrants" or some bullshit. Funny, the guys up north growing potatoes sure love the immigrants come harvest time, especially when they were paid under the table. Of course, these dumbasses in NORTHERN MAINE insist on flying confederate flags to honor their "heritage". They are from NORTHERN MAINE, their heritage is: Being harassed and assaulted by the KKK for daring to be catholic, freezing to death in ice storms, being mistaken for Canadians, and murdering the hell out of confederate slavers for the glory of the Union

They're outright racists is what I'm saying. My brother has bitched and moaned about "affirmative action" for decades. The horror that a black person might be somewhere they don't "deserve" is their only concern. It's funny to blame anything on affirmative action when you come from a town with single digit black people, and without affirmative action in the past, you would be just like the rest of the white trash.
Yes. The country was doing very well until a couple of weeks ago. Now it's being dismantled.
> There’s a huge well organized group of people keeping every animal not fully controlled in check and not keeping them indoors is frowned upon.

Why does this work for cats but not for rats?
I sometimes think the US exists as a cautionary tale. We suck so you don't have to!
Can you provide a source for that? I can't find anything in a casual Google search.
You cant compare manhattan project, NASA to a bunch of good software techs ripping apart the government. The first two projects required high levels of intelligence and new concepts.

These guys are the modern equivalent of name any destructive revolutionary group looking for stuff they don't agree with.

I don't however refute that you can be a brilliant mind and active contributor at any age. Just that these guys aren't anywhere close to the same page as our greatest minds.
This assumes there will be a next time. Sometimes once momentum is allowed to build it's very hard to stop or even slow things down.
Illegal and unconstitutional executive overreach is what it is, regardless of party.

I don't really envision a Democratic administration making a similar illegal and unconstitutional flurry of bullshit, but if they did, I would absolutely call them out on it.
That's not really how that works. IMF can demand their loan be repaid in whatever currency they want. Its totally normal for international loans to be denominated in a currency other than the recipient's legal tender, particularly for high risk countries (although that is usually bad for the recipient)
I don’t think so. The Republican Party had some pretty consistent positions for the better part of the last century, until those got in the way during the Obama era. It’s not like it was perfect before but when it came to questions like “is the President above the law?” or “is Canada an ally?” you could predict how most of the party would side. Stuff like granting unappointed people control over multiple agencies, running roughshod over the national security process, trying to impound huge chunks of the budget, etc. wouldn’t have flown even in Trump’s first term before they finished purging non-loyalists from the party.
Have also been playing with the idea of "body dev for devs"... let's connect?
Wouldn’t they need to balance a budget first?

Not in my lifetime
Certainly, one might test the software by removing access to external systems to see what happens, whether things break, whether it complains… and certainly, that’s what’s happening.

Something I didn’t expect from this was to see the main complainers scramble to define what’s really important to them, thus implicitly justifying many of the cuts made.
Because if you/they knew that, then they'd be buying more bitcoin.

On a much smaller scale, your dollar goes up by 5% every year but you still use it everyday because all your monies are in dollars. If all your monies are in btc, you'd have to sell to buy things.
I don’t see signs of this yet. We’re still seeing the same level of companies with traction come through each time we run an application process for TinySeed (accelerator focused on bootstrapped SaaS).

But realistically, there are a couple camps in bootstrapped SaaS. Folks who want to build an audience (often by “building in public” on social media), then hope they can monetize it. And folks who focus on non-audience-driven marketing and sales.

We only fund the latter, so take my comment with that context.
The MIT with Commons Clause license is pretty restrictive, does this crate flag itself?
I haven't seen arguments that they're constitutionally unsavory, but I've seen arguments, that the President, as chief executive, does have almost CEO-like control over them. FDR did exert such control, in his case using it to expand the federal government, but he ran a fast-moving government.

So it's not like there isn't precedent for this, it's just that the consensus was as you said, the independent (some would say unelected) bureaucracy running things. But that was only ever a convention.
I think the desire to keep that stuff quiet is bipartisan because loads of people from both parties are exposed, as well as too many wealthy people.

Now that we also have P-Diddy it makes me wonder just how many high class sleazy pimps with blackmail operations are operating at a given time. This must be a standard racket.
Cut spending.
There's a fundamental difference I think in the European mindset on private data and the American.

From the European mindset: private data is not "given" to a company, the company is temporarily allowed to use the data while that person engages in a relationship with the company, the data remains owned by the person (think copyright and licensing of artistic works).

American companies: think that they are granted ownership of data, just because they collect it. Therefore they cannot understand or don't want to comply with things like GDPR where they must ask to collect data and even then must only use it according to the whims of the person to whom it belongs.
Last time I checked, entering an (unlocked) IT closet, using it to DoS a site and continuing to do so despite being IP banned a few times is slightly more serious than "some kid downloading a model".
He's a fool. This is akin to an outside engineer hacking and slashing at code he doesn't understand and then tests it "in production". All of us engineers worth a damn know how that is going to turn out.
As much as some would like to pretend it does, his issues in his personal life still don’t make segregation and lack of voting rights an okay thing.
It has 6 million users. It’s like a midsized subreddit, not a TikTok competitor.
Propaganda, mostly. Conservatives have gained control of most Media outlets, and have been using them to launder consent. It's incredible that we've given Democrats absolutely no power, they can do literally nothing, and yet they're still somehow to blame for what Republicans are doing.
Kowloon Walled City ended because it was attacked by the state, rather than through market forces.

Many of those people are now likely in worse shape effectively renting a cage sized bed, but now paying the governments cut on top of whatever black market shenanigans goes on in both the slum housing and kowloon.
What about just doing something like

#[cfg(any(target_pointer_width = "32", target_pointer_width = "64"))]
#[inline(always)]
const fn usize_to_u32(x: usize) -> u32 {
x as u32
}

and this way you can just call this function and you'll get a compile-time error (no such function) if you're on a 16-bit platform.

Hi everyone! My name is Darshan Kalola — and I am a soon-to-be medical doctor who codes. I have a BS in computer science, earned my MPH from Harvard, and will have finished my MD next month. I interned as a software engineer on Google's Healthcare AI team, at YouTube, and at Memorial Sloan Kettering. I’ve also worked on several startups and side projects, which are documented in my portfolio at darshankalola.com.

I'm seeking a full-time software engineering, product, or Chief of Staff role starting in February 2025, ideally at a healthtech or biotech company.
Are you unaware that Harry Potter is about a Facist takeover of the wizarding world by people who insist on genetic purity and believe that mixed breeds and non-wizards should be wiped out, and done primarily by a nonviolent coup of the governing body of the wizarding world?
