Congress could do all sorts of things to assert its power: it could call hearings, issue subpoenas, revoke or change appropriations, pass laws, file suit, threaten impeachment, actually impeach. The courts could get involved if the administration resisted or defied some of those actions too, of course.

They have no interest in doing any of that, though. Generally those in power in Congress support what Trump is doing and are happy to have it happen without them needing to lift a finger (or take the blame if there are problems). To the extent that they don't, they're also happy to rely on the courts and again not take the blame or blowback from their voters.

As the administration plows forward and gets a taste for operating outside the law, I do think you have a growing risk that even a Congress that wanted to resist would find itself unable. You see administration figures favorably citing arguments that they should ignore court orders even now, and some evidence that they're defying orders already.

RAII is fine when it is the right tool for the job. Is it the right tool for every job? Certainly there are other more or less widely practiced approaches. In some situations you can come up with something that is provably correct and performs better (in space and/or time). Then there are just trade-offs.
It sounds like you are also libertarian, but you argue that even libertarian societies should have some form of public interest limitation, license or oversight. This is in line with traditional Thomas Jefferson thinking: "A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

That's a nice thought but the problem, as we've now shown, is that any organization of humans will by definition become corrupted, the state will grow unless constrained, and any system is imperfect and can be gamed.

What is the place of the state, traditionally empowered through a monopoly on violence, in a multinational world? Right now, it's just a tool to be abused by the wealthy, and by extension to confound and entrap the masses. Can you believe they still teach nationalism? Populism should have been excised from education after the 20th century's tragedies, but instead it seems to have redoubled.

In future perhaps we'll have a dictatorship of AI to keep the humans in check, but the clear danger is that such a system would present too much value not to be usurped and abused.

Democracy in the utopian theoretical sense was supposed to be based upon popular education and representation. We could work towards improving the former with AI and more effective (not child minding oriented) personalized education programs, and the latter with more frequent referendums. Right now we have the opposite: laziness, lack of education, active misinformation, and near zero viable means for meaningful representation even in self-labelled democractic societies. It is no wonder so many people self-medicate.
I think you need to consider time horizons when analyzing these funds. You can buy SPY and it will win. Unless there is a market crash when you hit retirement age, in which case you are screwed until the market recovers. If you don't mind the risk, go 2x levered and you will do even better. [0]

Many institutions and HNW and UHNW individuals prioritize consistency over absolute growth. They would rather make 6-8% a year and reduce downside risk than optimize for gains. Multi-strat funds like this one are catering to people who want that product.

This logic is infuriating.

One party is blatantly opposed to courts and legality and law. The idea that the ABA should be obligated to be non-partisan against their interests makes no sense. Nobody "owes" both sides anything. This logic would also not make sense if leveled at the NRA, farm groups, etc - or any other group with a partisan lean.

If one side is just plain wrong - they are not owed 50/50 representation. And accusing them of "reverse discrimination" is ironic if you are also going to criticize them for not forcing inclusion of a political party.

To put it another way: if the American Marxist Party was to suddenly become an important party, would the ABA gain authority by catering to them? In the name of non-partisanship? It makes no sense to me.
All right, just threw me off a little that you'd consider speculating or backwards decoding as I wouldn't expect them to be easier, or significantly faster (or maybe you consider parity-independence to be speculation? I can see it).

So apparently the issue is fuel economy -- going faster uses more fuel, so there's an optimum speed.

But haven't jet engines become more fuel efficient in the past 50 years? You would think that by now they'd achieve at least 2x the speed with the same fuel load.
I think you still have the right to travel without ID. The TSA may demand it, and may tell you it's legally required, but that doesn't make that true. If you show up at the airport without an ID, you'll still be allowed to fly domestically. Of course, how easy that is probably depends on whether you frame it as a "woops!" or as a "fuck you guys!". They'll put you through extra "security" screening and try to confirm your ID other ways.

"In fact, the TSA does not require, and the law does not authorize the TSA to require, that would-be travelers show any identity documents. According to longstanding practice, people who do not show any identity documents travel by air every day – typically after being required to complete and sign the current version of TSA Form 415 and answer questions about what information is contained in the file about them obtained by the TSA from data broker Accurint…."

It just provides a bigger representation space, and seems more like what we do given that many people don't have an inner dialog, and some think pictorially.

It seems it could allow reasoning over superpositions of concepts, if such things exist internal to the model (but presumably not at the edge were they need to be decodable into specific tokens).

from the article:

> Brain hyperconnectivity may limit flexible resource allocation, resulting in the rigidity and need for sameness that is often observed in individuals with ASD.

Hence "more (all the time) isn't always better". If I just run all programs on my computer at once, I don't get more done. Don't forget it's a spectrum, including nonverbal.

I think we don't so much discard information, but filter data (the raw sensory input etc.), and otherwise process it, in order to derive information from it. Without any filter or structure it's just raw data, or even noise. There'd be nothing to "store" either, you can't store a full resolution reality feed at "full frame rate". I know nothing and still claim that :P

That said, also I'll claim most of the suffering of autistic people, way too much at any rate, doesn't come from anything "wrong" with them, but the friction with societies that mostly ranged and ranges from ignorant to outright cruel. So please don't take my insistence that the article does indeed describe problems, not superpowers, as denying the amazing things many autistic people do, or saying even those who don't achieve anything special or struggle are lesser for it.
Generational GC is based on the assumption that most objects die young, and objects that survive are around for a long time - a kind of bathtub object lifetime curve.

This assumption is approximately true for GUI apps, and a lot more true for server apps. The idea is that all the objects allocated during an event dispatch or a server request are dead when control returns to the event loop.

To make those assumptions fit the program better, the size of the generations should be tuned (manually or automatically) such that for the rate of allocation this assumption holds true.

You need three generations: the first, where objects are born and only a few survive long enough to get out; the second, for objects which are destined to die young, but happen to still be alive when you collect the first generation; and the third, for objects that hopefully never die, so you never have to collect it.

The first generation should be sized to fit in something close to a CPU cache, so it’s really quick to scan.

The second generation should be sized so that it is not collected often enough to have live objects in it - it should outlive the longest event / request dispatch you’ve got, and then a little bit more.

If your application doesn’t feel like a GUI or a server app that dispatches events or requests, generational GC probably isn’t the right choice for you.

I stopped liking Musk when his first wife's tell-all "I Was a Starter Wife" came out in Marie Claire in 2010. Yes, penned by a disgruntled former spouse, it felt nonetheless authentic and immediately believable, and all the events since have generally confirmed her characterization of him.

We _need_ grid access, for now. Batteries are getting so crazy cheap. LFP is hitting the market en masse, and right behind that is sodium ion to halve the price again.

And, at least where I am, grid _access_ isn't really the biggest cost, capacity is. My power company would love it if I hooked some batteries up to solar and used that during peak hours so they don't have to upgrade every transmission line between me and a bunch of coal in Idaho. In fact, I know this because they pay me to do *exactly that with time-of-use metering.

* I don't actually have any solar, but I do have an electric water heater and an electric car, which are both huge batteries, and easy to time shift the charging of.

They always assume their race (or gender) will end up on top - probably just coincidence! I always wonder what they'll say about research that turns out otherwise.

Race as we culturally define it (which varies significantly over time and location) doesn't respresent differences in fact, but rather the things that are most obvious to our perception - e.g., skin color. There's no coincidence that what we see most easily - skin color - is somehow a strong indicator.

It's also a misunderstanding of statistics to think that differences will apply to individuals. These aren't two completely separate distributions, but rather distributions that overlap in different ways for different factors that impact outcomes in complicated an often unknown ways. Science and genetics are not that simple.

> That would not happen in the ideal world

Our world is far from that, sadly. What has caused more damage in history than racism - wars, massacres, slavery, oppression (including mass incarceration), endless lifetimes and generations lost to neglect? There have been no wars, slavery, or massacres due to anti-racism.

Kind of, yes! If OpenAI actually believes that the true value of OpenAI-NP is $40B then surely they will sell it for $97B! But, they of course don't believe that the proper valuation of complete control over OpenAI-P is worth only $40B. That's the point of why this works.

Show HN: CLI tool saves transact. from Mercury|Stripe|PayPal to camt054|JSON|CSV
Tax season started and I am busy with reconciliation as many other micro entrepreneurs. I created free opensource solution to automate bookkeeping tasks such as exporting transactions from bank and payment system APIs to CAMT054, JSON or CSV (to be able to import them to free tools like Zoho Books).

All banking systems have different output formats while integrations with many of bookkeeping software are not always free if exists at all. Importing them to bookkeping system is real pain, especially because of timezones (exports are often CSVs without TZ information in dates), different export periods (i.e. you are not always allowed to export transactions for 1 year or for specific range, for example 1 year + 1 day to match timezone difference), mess of exported filenames (from where and from which range this export.xlsx in my Downloads?).

This solution aims to eliminate manual work of matching different CSV schemas, which often leads to errors. It extracts all transactions for a given period and saves them in logically named files using the industry standard ISO20022 (camt054.xml), CSV for wide support of accounting systems and JSON - for further integrations if needed.

I plan to add some tests, maybe timezone conversions, maybe Docker or nice UI. I'm asking for comments - what do you want from such tool?

Ignoring the three letter bit, Intel ought to be a pretty good machine by your measures: Integrated electronics. ARM reformed itself, and is Advanced RISC Machine. I would argue that DEC and ARM are much more punchy than IBM and AMD. At least they are pronounced as single syllables, while the latter are read/spoken as TLAs. If your going to go to that much effort to pronounce it, you may as well suggest that Microsoft is a good name.

But if you really want a punchy name, something that will DEC them with the thing at the end of your ARM, well, you may as well go with a four letter acronym: FIST. I have yet to figure out what the F should stand for, but the rest is clearly Integrated Semiconductor Technologies.

I’ve been working on and off for years on a scrabble endgame solver; it uses all these techniques from chess like transposition tables, Negamax with alpha beta pruning, NegaScout, aspiration search and so on. There’s a French person who built his own endgame solver and this solver is significantly faster than mine, even with all of the optimizations that I’ve put into it. He is kind of secretive about it because it’s closed source and he makes some money on it, but we’ve talked a bit about it, compared some positions and we’ve determined that his move generation algorithm is actually not asoptimized as mine. But he can still solve the endgame faster despite seeing fewer positions, which implies to me that he’s doing a significantly better job of pruning the tree.

But when we try to talk details, I asked him for example do you use minimax with alphabeta pruning and he told me like “I’m not sure if I am using minimax or what that is :(“ .. I ask him to describe what he does, he essentially describes minimax with pruning. I’ve sorta figured out that he must be doing some very intelligent version of an aspiration search. It’s really eye-opening because he doesn’t have any of this training. He’s never seen any related algorithms, he’s just figuring all this out on his own.
Ada definitely targets the same domain as Rust, it just _also_ targets additional domains like low level control systems. It has a lot of flexibility and is quite a good language design that people seem irrationally prejudiced against because it has Algol/Pascal-flavored syntax instead of C-flavored syntax.
