Illuminate seems useful for summarizing and repeating concepts from an article as a way to review, but it's form factor is still passive, which is not great for learning.

Yeah it does seem like podcasts are not the best for learning content-wise either -- most interviews are under the surface a promotion for the interviewee's work and leave out pieces to make you want more info. At least I believe that's the dynamics of the interview podcast-system. Doesn't mean you can't learn from them and there's potential to make them better.

"Apathy"? How about disgust? The choices were Kamala and the Donald. I read that as a 'f.u. either way' from the political class. So yeah, not apathy.
You can say the same thing for literally every political figure throughout all of human history. People have said this throughout all recorded history.

It usually is, though probably more for making it memorizable without major error than any other reason. Rhyme styles of oral traditions don't look too much like our penchant for rhyming the last vowel of sentences.
If the IMF was loaning them 1.4B to do economic development then its reasonable that the country not keep a massive liability on its balance sheets.

Imagine I wanted to loan your car company 100M to build out a factory because I believe in the product. I'm told that your company keeps all its reserves in bitcoin and its possible that even if the factory is successful that the loan wont be repaid if bitcoin falls.

I think if you are obsessed with bitcoin its easy to see this as conspiratorial, but the reality is no bank is going to loan a (company, person, country) money in cash if they are told the loan may default if bitcoin falls.
True, thanks for the tip!
It’s easy to stand on the outside, pissing inwards, isn’t it? So thanks for the sweeping generalisations and absolutes, very helpful.

Since you have made no point so far, only offering spiteful generalisations and offence, I feel my lived experience is a good a counter point for those who may scroll by and want to see an alternative view.

This is some of the out of touch stuff that comes from the DNC that is toxic to a large part of America.

“Our rules specify that when we have a non-binary candidate or officer, the non-binary individual is counted as neither male nor female, and the remaining six offices must be gender balanced with the results of the previous four elections. Our elected officers are currently two male and two female. In order to be gender balanced… we must elect one male, one female, and one person of any gender."

I am the furthest thing from an “aggrieved Rural Christian Evangelical Conservative” - none of those adjectives apply to me.

They also said “So, I’m going to have a show of hands. How many of you believe that racism and misogyny played a role in Vice President Harris”. Did it play role? Yes. I’m a Black guy and I know a few Black men that didn’t vote for her just because of that.

But just like Christians and traditional Republicans held their nose and voted for Trump the first time.

Enough of America voted for Obama twice. Obama never made it about race. But then again, we had decent Republican candidates like Romney and McCain (who shut it down anytime it came up).

Harris lost because she was a continuation of Biden and was complicit in hiding the fact that Biden was losing his mental faculties

32 is less than 38, regardless of the political valence.

On the grounds that I'm, y'know, human I will grant that I'd probably find myself filling in the details of where exactly the constitutional lines are drawn somewhat differently in line with my policy preferences, but the question wasn't whether this is within bounds of the Constitution, but whether we ought to (morally) consider the Constitution amended anyway because of the electoral victory. My answer to that will always be no - both because of the numbers and also because the election conflates a bunch of questions where ratification asks just the one question directly.
You should see the crazy shit they say about the IRS hiring 80,000 more employees that they desperately need.
Yes, it does happen from time to time coincidentally usually in the lead-up to financial crises…
What happened to all that soaring rhetoric about the tyranny of the majority?
This sounds very ignorant. The members of the military very much understand and remember their oath to the constitution and they are acting accordingly currently.
Ah yes, the worst of all the dystopias: The one where companies can't fuck people over as much as they'd like to. Truly a horror scenario for any tech billionaire.
Usually because that leader financially rewards military leaders.

Not that it couldn't happen, but military peers would feel some kind of way about their superiors who did that.
$7 and uses plaid for bank access? No thank you. Why would you need bank access to generate a paper check?
None, really. They are all floating relative to each other. But USD is stable enough to know what you can get with $10. Although the last few years have put that to the test.
Good rule of thumb: when something seems too stupid to actually happen, it's time to accept it'll probably happen.

This bill is a terrible idea, but it's worth mentioning

> yeah TikTok ban was a very bad precedent

The TikTok ban didn't set a precedent, it's following a general precedent. The most obvious precedent is Grindr [0]. What makes TikTok unusual is they refused to sell.

The precedent is also very old. There are usually laws regarding doing business with enemies during wartime, for example. That's the same basic idea: restriction on business/trade due to national security issues. The ones everyone knows about are US car companies and IBMs doing business with the Nazis. Typically, AFAIK, companies are required to divest to a subsidiary, which is what the US wanted ByteDance to do.

At least that's the right conceptual framing IMO, whether or not you think the ban was a bad idea.

CISA considers China the "most active and persistent cyber threat to the U.S. Government, private sector, and critical infrastructure networks" [1]. So while the US isn't technically in a cyber war with China, they basically are.

Lot's of speculation over the decades about what Gödel's Loophole was, but one wonders if it lies in this direction.

"Gödel told Morgenstern about the flaw in the constitution, which, he said, would allow the United States to legally become a fascist state." [1] Unfortunately Morgenstern never completely specified what this flaw was. As pointed out in the wikipedia article speculation is that "The loophole is that Article V's procedures can be applied to Article V itself. It can therefore be altered in a "downward" direction, making it easier to alter the article again in the future." But given how difficult it is to amend the constitution it doesn't seem like the problem lies there.

I do think it helps. Sometimes I write pseudocode as comments if I have a complicated task to break down. It also lends itself well to LLM programming, especially with "reasoning" models where giving a complete picture of what you want in pseudocode-like terms can improve the results.

Donald Knuth said famously that code is for people and only incidentally for computers. And at the end of the day, only machine language code (not any "languages" we write) gets run. From that perspective, everything is a kind of pseudocode, including how you name and layout your variables and functions, etc.
Transaction fees have been about as low as they can possibly be for months. It costs roughly $0.15 to move a UTXO right now.

The people who argued for increasing the block size were making a tradeoff between decentralization and "low" transaction fees. Increasing the block size makes the chain grow faster which causes several problems: the time to sync new blocks goes up, initial chain download time goes way up, and block verification takes more CPU.

The parameters were initially set so that anyone could run a full node for as many years as possible which is the most important part of the ecosystem by far. If you make it harder for the average person to run a node it doesn't matter how cheap the transactions are if ultimately a small group of people are capable of running it. You could argue that doubling or quadrupling the block size doesn't hurt decentralization, and maybe you're right, but that also doesn't move the needle much for transaction throughput either at least not enough to make a difference for adoption.

Bitcoin can and should be scaled in layers. The detractors are just impatient.
Hilariously naive? Are you aware that fiction writers are usually demonstrating something about the real world? Have you ever read a thought experiment? Do you discount blueprints because they're not made from concrete and steel? Get outta here.
El Salvador invested approximately $269.74 million to acquire 5,900 bitcoins ($595 million) and secure $1.4 billion in IMF loans.

I hope they can recover from this failed experiment.
What does that mean? USD value decreased that much and bitcoin proved itself as an asset with tangible value (like gold?), or did value of bitcoin itself rise? I’m not a currency guy, so I don’t pretend to know crap, it’s a real question, not rhetorical.
A big example is that almost all plastic in the ocean comes from a couple of Asian countries. No amount of money spent in the US could stop that. But it would likely be very cheap to combine funding plastic recycling with threats of sanctions against those countries.
Rat populations mostly aren't sustained by the sorts of trash cans that passersby toss garbage into (or fail to). They're sustained by containers carrying large amounts of residential refuse. (Consider the proportion of garbage you, personally, throw into a public trash can compared to your own trash can, especially food waste.) And I'm not well-versed on the specifics of Japanese waste processing, but I'm fairly confident they have something analogous to dumpsters and residential trash collection, even if they don't have public bins.

I think the article is wrong in that std::io::stdout would be panicking, or that "the panic is reachable somehow". It's just the optimizer doesn't see it doesn't panic.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/src/std/io/stdio.rs.html#674-...

The implementation calls indeed a panicking API, OnceLock::get_or_init:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/std/sync/struct.OnceLock.html...

But it only panicks if it is being used in a wrong way, which it isn't. The usage is contained within the implementation of std::io::stdout, so it's an implementation detail.

It's a shame that there are no better ways to eliminate panics in case they are impossible to trigger. The article shows some tricks, but I think the language is missing still some expressability around this, and the stdlib should also thrive harder to actually get rid of hard-to-optimize links to panic runtime in case of APIs that don't actually panic.
Sorry if I missed something, but was it really resolved? AFAICT they likely ID'd the man, but not really anything else about the bizarre case. The note, the clothes labels, the cipher, etc.
Ok, but what does that have to do with the nature of the young guys charged with the analysis?

I read through your past comments. It's obvious to me what you believe. And I don't agree with your worldview but not sure that matters. If you don't like Musk and don't like Trump, fine, I get it. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like either of them in person either, and, they both have vested interests on that we can agree. You know who else has vested interests? The people benefiting from waste, fraud and abuse. The people who have been directing public funds into propaganda and a black hole. I'd like to see western civilization persist. If you feel differently that's a value judgement and it's fine. But hearing kveltching and ridiculous statements from liberal midwits on every single policy article is getting really really old and it's shitting up this site. This is what is going to happen.

Debt uncontrollably going up without something to balance it means exactly that. If the debt exceeds the GDP, which is where the US is clearly going, we are looking at a collapse of the US dollar and its global influence. Theres no telling what will happen after that because its unfathomable
