> I remember when Bob Lee was murdered in SF and everyone came out of the woodwork claiming it’s the supposedly violent mentally ill homeless people who clearly must have been responsible (it wasn’t). ... not so much different

We can go back through the threads if you like, but it certainly wasn't everyone. My bet was on it being related to the yet unresolved theft of a ~billion dollars from FTX using phenomenal amounts of mobilcoin.

Instead it was a less interesting story: A drug user under the influence killed another drug user they knew well over an interpersonal dispute.

People doing dumb shit attacking other people they know who are also engaged in dumb shit is enormously different from being attacked by a stranger out of nowhere while minding your own business. People rightfully feel less safe regarding risk that they don't have much control over vs risk they have more control over.

And we should treat it differently. No amount of policing can ever make you safe-- ultimately we all have to keep ourselves safe. FAFO is a law of the universe that we can't legislate out of existence, but we can adopt policies that increase or decrease the risk of random violence.
Seems accurate enough.

Is it plausible that, given the claim is that people currently >150 years old are receiving money, in the previous 40 years of audits, etc., no-one has noticed that people >110 (vanishingly rare in the US) were getting money? That it took the arrival of Elon and his Special Boys with their cursory glance to immediately spot this problem that must have been missed by every other developer, tested, auditor, etc. for AT LEAST 40 years? Or that there has been some vast conspiracy - on both sides of the US political aisle - to keep paying out this money to clearly ineligible people without a single person ever whistleblowing?

My money is on the vastly simpler "Elon and his Special Boys[0] have misunderstood" hypothesis.

Yeah, you don't need/want manual memory management for most CLIs.
> attempting to separate them, like what most if not all compilers do, results in (sometimes very) suboptimal results

Not separating them would have a big disadvantage: all register allocation decisions need to be strictly local, because information about upcoming instructions and their register constraints is not available. Even simple graph coloring algorithms give much better code than algorithms with local decisions only.

In our baseline/unoptimized compiler, we do ISel+RegAlloc(+Encoding) combined in a single step and we get lots of easily avoidable moves and spills. (These typically don't hurt performance that much on modern out-of-order CPUs with store forwarding, but substantially increase the code size.)

Are you thinking the salary cap hasn't changed from the 90s? The MLE is 12.3m this year, and that is a high-end role player. If one plays at that level for 8 years, they make that amount you're complaining about. And the cap is expected to go up significantly over the next few years (would have gone up more drastically, but the KD to Warriors situation convinced teams to adopt smoothing).

It is true that in general, super stars are underpaid, and role players are overpaid.
> Pretty much any system that's capable of handling IP traffic is also capable of firewalling.

A system that can't track connection state, or doesn't have enough capacity to do so at line rate, can't meaningfully firewall. When the norm for home equipment is ISPs sending it out for "free", they absolutely send out the cheapest stuff they can get away with, and in the pre-smartphone era that meant "modems" that would just provide a straight PPPoA connection with no firewalling.

When the object enters the timestream, time begins to correct itself. Let me use this example: Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff. Time works the same way.
According to Trumps longest serving chief of staff, John Kelly, he regularly needed to be talked down from using the military on citizens:

> Mr. Kelly said that Mr. Trump was repeatedly told dating back to his first year in office why he should not use the U.S. military against Americans and the limits on his authority to do so. Mr. Trump nevertheless continued while in office to push the issue and claim that he did have the authority to take such actions, Mr. Kelly said.

It can happen in practice. For example, I see a lot of C++ code with extra string copying that would be hard to avoid. Like if some func takes a const vector<string>& and you have a string in any structure besides a vector, you're gonna copy that string.
Given that other systems do have problems with paying out to dead people or people who are alive but faking their age, it'd be impressive if the US system had zero such cases. The claim isn't unlikely on its face, especially given what he said about Treasury never denying payments for any reason in order to minimise complaints.

As to "how can he make claims at all", it's because civil servants have been told to work for him, which means he is supposed to have access to more information than actual outsiders do (everyone on this thread).

> This means they have been 150 years old since they got into the system.

No, the theory being made was that they appear to be 150 years old because the marker for "unknown DOB" -when queried- comes out as 1875 by default and that wasn't accounted for / known about by the Special Boys given their lack of knowledge around these systems. It's entirely plausible that they look 150 years old (with a badly formed query done in a rush) but there's an "eligibility" section of fields which says they're eligible because they verified their citizenship[0] in 1952 with their military record[1].

Basically doing a query on DOB/age instead of eligibility. Easily done! Just not something to brag about in a press conference before triple-checking that you weren't about to make a massive arsehole out of yourself to the world.

[0] USA has the highest drug use per head of population in the entire world. Portugal is way down the list.

I don't think there's "nothing we can do". I think it's more of a question of how we approach the problem. We have always approached it as a failure of the individual in question, requiring correction by punishment. This has clearly not worked (ever) but everyone seems reluctant to abandon it.

If we approach addiction as a disease, like cancer, that affects some people against their will, rather than something they chose because they're junkie scum, we might help them more [1]

> Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

The evidence can go two ways. Essentially the hypothesis that anything we observe to be conscious is actually conscious is unfalsifiable unless you make some assumptions.

> We have no evidence for thinking or consciousness in rocks, stars, or computers.

We have no evidence for consciousness in slime molds, but they do indeed display intelligence.

Crucially, though, and more to the particular point I'm making, we have no evidence that they are not conscious. In fact, we have no idea how consciousness arises, but we are very much primed to believe it needs to look something like us.

> (but large financial incentives).

That's definitely not my motivation here. I'm talking about this weird and unfounded exceptionalism that we place on eukaryotes being a prerequisite for thinking and consciousness. And, there's actually large financial incentive to say specifically that AI can think but is not conscious, because it is somehow distinct from life. This could inadvertently spawn a new wave of slavery that everyone (well, 'most people') would be perfectly complicit in and comfortable with, and to the great profit of AI companies that gatekeep it.
Hahaha... Not galera!

Well kinda. Galera looks like it's an amazing solution, and it can be for careful operators who read the docs, learn the new procedures and ensure that they're running workloads that fit well. It can eliminate the usual HA / replication / failover stuff. But it has the ability to act like a foot-machinegun.

Outside kubernetes where you don't have an kubernetes operator that can run the database cluster, spin up nodes and pods, manage volumes etc it's difficult to imagine how you might automate that infrastructure in addition to managing the database cluster, without building a lot of it yourself.

I meant it also for the (unwittingly) left-out part of your comment. Firstly, by saying this parrot will explain "everything that you need to know ..." you're pushing your own standards onto everyone else. Maybe the OP really wants to understand it deeply and learn about edge cases, and understand how it really works. I dont think I would rely on a statistical parrot (yes, that's really how they work, only on a large scale) to teach me stuff like that. At best, they are to be used with railguards as some kind of a personal version of "rain man", with the exception that the "rain man" was not hallucinating when counting cards :)
You're not wrong - in that ALL optimizations are inter-dependent. But, for reasons that I think are rather obvious, it's really hard to do them optimally, all at once. So typically you'd do things like "register-pressure-aware" selection & scheduling, repeated optimization steps (like, do a register-pressure-aware first scheduling, RA, then schedule again) etc. It's all just heuristics, in the end.

> since it can only make the latter easier.

Not necessarily. For a simple case, yes; but in general, committing to early to reuse a virtual register may have very bad performance implications, since it limits code mobility, freedom to select a particular register, and may increase register pressure in critical sections of the code (say you have "A conflicts with B, B with C and C with D"; you can put all of these in 2 registers: A=R0, B=R1, C=R0, D=R1. But if you committed too early to unify the lifetimes of A and D - eg. for instruction selection purposes - now you need 3 registers. Which is fine, and likely the best solution if you actually end up having 3 registers available - but very likely sub-optimal if you only had 2).

I did. The main zero-tolerance policy referred to in the article is someone getting into a fight with staff and roommates at a social care facility.

You condemn that policy, so I suppose you think this should be tolerated to a degree?

Let's say that a homeless shelter abolished it's zero-tolerance policy. Staff and other occupants can now be assaulted a few times, before someone gets kicked out.

Who'd work at this facility? At this point, you aren't looking for social workers, you're looking for prison guards. They'd treat their charges with the same love and compassion that correctional officers are known for.

Who'd go into this facility? Would a non-violent peaceful person even want to be sheltered there?

Do you really think a facility like that will help anyone?

Suddenly a zero-tolerance policy towards violence isn't such a bad idea, is it? Maybe, just maybe there is no orphan crushing machine, is there?
