You're talking about something else. This discussion started from the claim that private sector has to absorb the eliminated government workers.

If I understand you correctly, you claim that necessary government positions have been eliminated, and therefore, government is unable to perform some of its important functions. If this is true, sooner or later these positions will be reinstated and filled: if enough people are negatively affected, their voices will be heard by the next election.

On the other hand, Twitter laid off ~80% of its employees, including roles seen by some as important, and yet, it's running just fine today, so I guess we'll see about the government.

I'm not interested in, nor do I own, a Tesla. I don't directly own stocks in Tesla. My employment is in no way related to Tesla, but it is in finding corner cases for real world problems.

It's difficult to address your response, since your interpretation of my question is so misaligned with where my question was coming from.

> What I'm saying is that Tesla's FSD implementation should not be used on public roads, as it currently stands.

This is the catch 22 that my questions were framed around.

Note that Waymo (1 per 2.7M) [1] and Tesla (1 per 6M) [2] have significantly lower accident rates than bare humans (1 per 0.36M), with FSD having 2x lower that Wayme. This suggests that running as is will prevent accidents.

> the discrete logarithm for elliptic curves, ... We don’t technically know whether these are NP-complete

This is wildly misleading. We do know with absolute certainty that the decision problem for DLC is NP-Hard, and therefore that EPDLC inherits at least NP-Hardness. While it is true that their presence in NP-Hard does not require their pressence in NP (and thus are not proved NP Complete), it is misleading to characterize as the author has here that they are weaker than NP, instead of the known certainty that NP is the absolute minimum bound for their hardness.

every thing you said is false or plain exaggeration.

DOGE are not random people, they are government employees using government owned laptops to do audit on the orders of the President (DOGE is a renamed US Department of Digital Services).

Just because they analyze the data, journalists assume something nefarious going on, without the actual knowledge of actual risks:

Based on what they do, they only need read-only access to the General ledger transactions. I highly doubt they have access to modify COBOL programs on Treasury mainframes, but rather just operate off of read-only replicas/backups to read and analyze the data.

there are no risks to the Tresury system in this scenario.
The article states that /bin/ls is statically linked. That means that the parts it uses from libc have long-since been taken and merged directly into the ls binary. So this randomization has no effect.

Even if ls were dynamically linked, the ls binary itself wouldn't change at every boot; instead its import/jump table, generated dynamically by ld.so as part of the OS's executable loading process, would simply point to different (and random) offsets within libc. It would have a different in-memory representation after each boot, but its on-disk representation would remain the same.
Isn't an impact driver a bit much for an ordinary screw application, especially when there's a pilot hole?

Or they simply keep supporting old models with new versions of the OS, even though newer software versions are optimized, and contain new features, enabled by newer hardware improvements.

If you machines have more RAM, you can use a more RAM intensive solution to speed many things up, or deliver a more computationally intensive but higher quality solution, or simply add a new previous challenging feature.

What would be interesting, is how fast to old but high spec'd models slow down. What slow downs are from optimizing for newer architectures, vs. optimizing with expectation of higher resources.

Then perhaps they should have this SWE Agent make some non-trivial contributions to the Linux kernel or other large, impactful open source projects? It would be a great way to demonstrate that they're not full of shit and would help projects that will still be useful in the near future.

Unless, of course, there's some reason why their SWE Agent can't accomplish this.

Thanks, very interesting read about PDI and the cultural differences.

Speaking for myself, I have great interest in living / working in western Europe, namely Netherlands or Denmark, but as someone living in Japan for a decade and appreciating their polite communication and respect for personal boundary, I'm concerned if I would enjoy life in an environment with more straightforward communication.
how do you know if an instance you picked is hard?

Another problem with your suggestion: Do we even know that a 1/polynomial sized fraction of 3-coloring instances are hard? (Else you'll never sample one). (NP-Hardness certainly does not give such a guarantee, even though it sounds weak)
> Probably not a good idea for anyone with a timeline

It's not completely crazy. Software was developed by much smaller teams and got out the door quickly in that era.

To add some nuance to the word "fast."

When we optimize Ruby for performance we debate how to eliminate X thousand heap allocations. When people in Rust optimize for performance, they're talking about how to hint to the compiler that the loop would benefit from SIMD.

Two different communities, two wildly different bars for "fast." Ruby is plenty performant. I had a python developer tell me they were excited for the JIT work in Ruby as they hoped that Python could adopt something similar. For us the one to beat (or come closer to) would be Node.js. We are still slower then them (lots of browser companies spent a LOT of time optimizing javascript JIT), but I feel for the relative size of the communities Ruby is able to punch above its weight. I also feel that we should be celebrating tides that raise all ships. Not everything can (or should be) written in C.

I personally celebrate any language getting faster, especially when the people doing it share as widely and are as good of a communicator as Aaron.
Most people would not characterize Baathist Syria as "free".

I think ruby can get popular again with the sort of contrarian things Rails is doing like helping developers exit Cloud.

There isn’t really a much more productive web dev setup than Rails + your favorite LLM tool. Will take time to earn Gen Z back to Rails though and away from Python/TS or Go/Rust.
Not sure it's misleading, he did write the word "technically", and anyone who knows what NP-complete is knows that NP-hard does not necessarily mean NP-complete. I am a cryptographer and the article is fine.

Also, do you have a citation for "We do know with absolute certainty that the decision problem for DLC is NP-Hard"
if you can't see that the loyalty purge sweeping the government right now isn't a sign of authoritarianism, then I can't help you.

> continued to do with USAID in collaboration with other countries where our tech companies operate

this is as vague as Elon's claim that "the government is full of fraud!" I don't doubt that fraud exists in the government, like any other, and there are no doubt USAID projects that I disagree with or think are wasteful (I actually disagree with a lot of US foreign policy moves). But what you do is investigate and take action on the individuals; shuttering whole agencies like the USAID and CFPB is purely ideological (and in the latter, conveniently self-serving for Elon).

Anyway, you've clearly drunk the MAGA Kool-Aid so no need to waste our time arguing further. Just be careful what you wish for. I've lived in authoritarian countries, and have seen these signs before.
This doesn't feel terribly surprising to me. MacOS has always had impressively performant parts, but their upgrades always generally lower responsiveness. On modern hardware it's less perceptible obviously, and they want to sell machines, not software. But the last iteration that felt like it prioritized performance and snappiness was Snow Leopard, now twenty years ago.

I will say the problem was a lot worse before the core explosion. It was easy for a single process to bring the entire system to a drag. These days the computer is a lot better at adapting to variable loads.

I love my macs, and I'm about 10x as productive as on a windows machine after decades of daily usage (and probably a good 2x compared to linux). Performance, however, is not a good reason to use macos—it's the fact that the keybindings make sense and are coherent across an entire OS. You can use readline (emacs) bindings in any text field across the OS. And generally speaking, problems have a single solution that's relatively easy to google for. Bad-behaved apps aside (looking at you zoom and adobe) administering a mac is straightforward to reason about, and for the most part it's easy to ignore the app store, download apps, and run them by double clicking.

I love linux, but I will absolutely pay to not have to deal with X11 or Wayland for my day-to-day work. I also expect my employer to pay for this or manage my machine for me. I tried linux full-time for a year on a thinkpad and never want to go back. The only time that worked for me was working at google when someone else broadly managed my OS. macs the only unix I've ever used that felt designed around making my life easier and allowing me to focus on the work I want to do. Linux has made great strides in the last two decades but the two major changes, systemd and wayland, both indicate that the community is solving different problems than will get me to use it as a desktop. Which is fine; I prefer the mac-style to the ibm pc-style they're successfully replacing. Like KDE is very nice and usable, but it models the computer and documents and apps in a completely different way than I am used to or want to use.

With the GNU linker, you would have to go out of your way to link all of a library, like:

ld ... --whole-archive libwhatever.a --no-whole-archive

Into the 1990s, it was still a big deal whether a linker could eliminate individual unused functions rather than just remove unused object files. I recall this ability is called function linking.

In GCC they wanted function linking for the libgcc.a functions that provide run-time support, like numeric functions (e.g. division) needed by some generated code to make up for what the machine's instruction set does not provide.

GCC's build process simulated (maybe still does?) function linking for libgcc.a by using the preprocessor to compile the file with these routines multiple times, separating the output into multiple .o files containing just one function.

These days we have a libgcc as a shared library.

Corvettes are niche cars, with only tens of thousands sold a year. Plus, I don't know when your friend got in that fender bender, but post-Covid supply chain issues meant that anybody in any newer car (with lots of electronics) who got in an accident in the past few years waited a while for parts.
This seems like it would be a disposable item once the tip wears, at least more disposable than a regular bit. Sharpening seems like it would be difficult and time consuming, if that is possible in the first place.

Tools like Codeium's Windsurf and Cursor can help with some of that part.
Yeah but they usually require RSA to be used in some rather unusual and bad way.

For example, encrypting one message with many different public keys can be broken with chinese remainder theorem and Nth roots. This reveals the message without factoring any key. This is why randomized padding (among other things) is a must with RSA.
I have used a screwdriver bit as a drill to make a small divot to help get self-tapping screws started into wood.
Hire people that will take over the parts you don't want to deal with. That will give you some breathing room to figure out the business's future. Some businesses can't be expanded. If that's the case then move on and have someone else do the work while you manage it or even get someone else to manage it. Do not add features just because you feel they are needed. Ask your users. They know what features they want. But keep in mind that they can't tell you what feature will move the service to the next level. That's up to you to figure it out. FYI, I, and many others, hate it when upgrades(?) mean that I have to use a new interface and the upgrade is full of bugs.

Else, it's hard for a business to last a long time, you can just fight it out and get enough to retire and sell the company. A $3 million next egg gives you a great retirement, not luxurious but decent.

Some 15 years ago I was playing DOTA on what you'd call today a gaming laptop (HP HDX9200) which would occasionally overheat causing BSOD and everytime it happened it was hail mary, because the boot time took around 5 minutes and it was the exact time for servers to flag me as leaver and ban me from future games.

These days I have two main machines which boot to Windows in about a minute.

Somehow I remember my old 486 machine was able to boot to DOS within the snap of a power button.

Not that it makes a ton of difference, but technically trunk-based development refers more to the branching model, while continuous integration is a larger concept combining specific tooling, methods, branching, etc. You can do continuous integration with other branching models[1].

Unless a team tries hard to stick to strict CI, they usually end up with long-lived feature branches, long integration cycles, and clumsy, irregular deployments to irregular environments. So many teams still don't "get" CI, and end up wasting a shitload of time.

Exactly this.

In the agreement, they said this is up to the company, and the company chose the "pay tax to me or forfeit" option.

> There are companies that will loan you money to cover vesting costs or these types of situations - they'll do it at shitty rates, but if the options are losing out on a windfall or losing an extra 10-20% on the windfall, it's worth considering.

Thanks for this advice. Agree that this seems like a viable approach. Appreciate it!
Just an anecdote but i'll put it here:
A friend of mine insisted that her ex was slowly driven somewhat mad by finasteride, not in the typical crazy ex way, but obsessive somewhat delusional thoughts and moods, like he was getting stuck in a loop over some idea.

She later dated another guy who was taking it for a very long time, and said he had the same type of delusional quirks.
Yep. The whole fake frames thing seems like a witch hunt to me. If you can actually get a 5090 and were previously fully utilising a 3090 or 4090, it is a significant upgrade, as long as it doesn't burn your house down.

48 months for swatting is a very good deal for him. He is lucky no one got killed by his actions. But at the same time 48 months is an extremely harsh sentence to get for this guy. Hopefully it is enough time for him to realize he does not want to go back. But if you look at his picture it is very obvious he will not do well at all in an LA prison. He will be preyed upon day one. He will probably have to be put into PC and depending on the prison or conditions will still have issues. So anyone thinking 48 months is too short ya maybe, thankfully no one got killed, but it will be a very painful torturous 48 months on this guy.

That's not true at all. There's a bit more CO2 during manufacture, at the moment, but a single year of driving and the EV has caught up to a gas car on emissions. Given that lifetime of cars is multiple decades now, the savings are huge for EVs.
