>So, your comment here is moving the goalpost:

There's no point in implementing measures that would be trivially bypassed but cause great economic and societal harm in the process (ie. creating some sort of KYC regime for the internet, or causing millions to be cut off from the internet). China, arguably one of the most draconian states out there, and the home of pig butchering scams can barely keep a lid on it. Countries like the US that emphasize civil liberties and free trade don't stand a chance.

>If it's malicious activity behind VPNs in your own country then you need only convince your law enforcement to enforce existing computer crime laws. Renting a server for $5/mo requires payment and payment provides a name & address to prosecute.

You can pay for no-log VPNs using crypto or anonymous gift cards. Apple, Google, and others even have 2-hop VPNs that theoretically make it impossible for the provider to log connections even if they wanted to. Not to mention, there are many countries, including the US where you can get prepaid SIMs without presenting any sort of ID and pay with cash. Even if you were some how able to enforce an airtight KYC regime for the internet (doubtful, given how well that works for the financial system), you still have to contend with compromised routers/IOT devices and shady apps that act as proxies for bad guys.
> you're saying military commanders and judge advocates knowing and understanding the bounds of their authorities are mere technicalities

Yes, I'm saying that given the right circumstances what is legal on paper does not matter in the real world.

> This "armed and emotional" bit gives off some real "I never served and don't understand the military as much as I think I do" vibes.

I have never served but I have read history books. This isn't a pure hypothetical: these things have happened before, there are examples going back as far as you would like. My sibling comment even expanded on one of these.

> I'm sorry

If you're sorry then I think it would have been possible to edit your comment not to have the tone of personal insult.
Governments going into too much debt is a very old problem that has happened hundreds of times before, even in the USA, so we know with high likelihood how it ends: inflation and soft default, not hard default. The timeline is the major unknown.

I was using the framing of your Keynes quote, with the context that Keynes was generally for increasing the monetary supply (making it possible to afford what can be done).

It is possible to afford more than you can do yourself when you buy things from other countries. That quote is arguing for ignoring the financial abstraction when it becomes limiting, and focusing on the economic realities of what can be done. But my point is that the financial abstraction is currently benefiting the US. Eschewing the financial abstraction, balancing imports and exports, and no longer being a reserve currency means that we will be able to afford less.

That may be fine if the goal is to achieve other results (eg stable manufacturing jobs that support a middle class, supply chain security). But it's still something to be acknowledged, rather than written off. Effectively the worldwide use of USD to facilitate international trade and as a store of future value is itself an export, the use of which is paid for by ongoing monetary inflation. Reducing the desire of other countries to hold USD means ending that export.
They do. It wont matter unless there is prosecution.
There's that love of the constitution squared with supporting Trump that I was mentioning.
You sure there will be a change allowing a reversal in four years? I doubt that this kind of steamrolling power will be contained by law or institutions. They came into office while blatantly disrespecting law and institutions in the first place. There will be not enough left to get back to last year's state of affairs. This is not going to be a short hiccup. This is changing the world and the path of the future and I hate to witness it happening.
What are embeddings if not "just coordinates"?
I appreciate the clarification and I’m thankful for the work you do here. I will get back shortly.
> You do not have the right to automatically enroll them into a new subscription model AFTER they have made a permanent license purchase.

Have you read the EULA and TOS they made you sign? Very often companies do reserve the right to automatically enroll you in a new equivalent service after voiding your lifetime license.

This is ultimately one of those things you just have to prepare for whenever relying on paid software.
While your concern is valid, I recommend learning about git hooks from their canonical source rather than from the documentation of any hook manager. Hooks are features of Git itself. Hook managers are an after-thought. Meanwhile, this tool and its docs also appear to be works in progress. I use pre-commit (a python program, not the hook itself) as a hook manager. But nothing beats the git book and docs. Here are some links:

1. https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks

2. https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks

Here is another site dedicated to git-hooks. You'll find some good examples and resources there:

If it's designated by law to be inheritable then it's a moot point.

It's also worth noting that OASDI is not the same as a Civil War pension. One was set up to support men who fought in service of the Federal government, the other was set up to keep the Old Aged, Survivors, and Disabled Insured. They're legally separate programs and thus have different statutes regulating who can draw benefit from them.
>Why should European states assume the US has an obligation to always support Europe?

Well, it agreed to:

>In 1994, Ukraine agreed to transfer these weapons to Russia and became a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in exchange for assurances from Russia, the United States and United Kingdom to respect the Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.

I don't necessarily disgree with the central thesis of your comment and your perspectices, but i think there is a more fruitful balance to be had than what i see as completee capitulation to Russia and the abandonment of Europe (after almost a century of collaboration and investment).

At some point one need to ask oneself: what am i defending?
Is this serious?

How using a service provided by a for profit company that must comply with the law and must shutdown a repository by court order is censorship resistant?
"The banks marketed the deal last week with an intention to sell down the debt at 90-95 cents to the dollar but managed to price it at a higher price of 97 cents... In late 2022, an attempt to sell the unsecured loan attracted bids in the 60 cents to the dollar range which would have seen the banks take on a large loss on the face value of the debt."

https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/banks-sell-down-55-...

so I was wrong to say they were as low as 40 cents, but the point stands that twitter's financials have improved a great deal
For all "typical" web apps (and certainly the ones for which you'd use RoR) you still need some kind of server providing some kind of central database.

Assuming you don't want to just leave 5432 open and expose your Postgres server for the world to rawdog, you are going to need some authentication and other auth logic on the server side.

So, I don't see companies really rushing to deploy apps this way.
> forced to adopt the coding style and practices of that legacy project

Let's keep going with this SQL-injection prone legacy framework, with zero automated tests for the entire codebase!

I've hit that, for real. Sometimes you really do need to move mountains to change legacy.
I dunno if extremely fragile; I recommend trying funtrace on your own code - pretty sure it will work out of the box! But, what's less fragile than interposing pthread_create which doesn't add a load and a branch to every function call and return which is where a tracing profiler will need to access TLS?..

In any case, one point of funtrace is that it's small (~1K LOC runtime) and you can tweak it easily, including calling its TLS init code from your threads if you don't create them with pthread_create "like most people" - even without this issue, people do "green threads" with setcontext/getcontext and who knows what else, which will need its own hacks to support, and so I think that an easily hackable runtime is a good thing given how hard it is to do this in a one-size-fits-all fashion.

As a counterexample, LLVM XRay, a tracing profiler from Google which is at least 10x bigger than funtrace (if you don't count the compiler instrumentation they introduced), took almost a decade to gain shared library support, and it's not done yet. So I think "small and hackable" has its advantages.
Agreed. And for tools like this (which are light wrappers around much heavier tools), the difference in performance is insignificant. It’s all the other factors that start to matter.
He says that a) yes there are many receptors which will be triggered by the same drug at the same time, so it can have a variety of effects, b) it's possibly not worth it to take it as a preventive measure. That doesn't mean he says it shouldn't be taken to cure or at least manage debilitating disorders like depression. Cost vs benefit.

The discussion of costs/risks of treatments is usually what's missing in the casual conversations about drugs. Ketamine or psylocybin are probably the best examples in the tech community, yes they can sometimes cure a depression, or at least suppress it for a while, but they can also cause psychosis (and other non-psychiatric symptoms), so they are used only after safer options fail.

Although I'm not sure I get the concern here, sepsis is very life threatening, so paying SNRI-level risk for prevention doesn't seem like an outright bad idea. Unless the idea would be for random people to start using this drug just in case they get stabbed and go septic - then I would say this is not a good idea. But I don't think this is what the paper describes.
If I pretend to be fine with people criticizing me, that claims fails as soon as I block/ban/throttle one (1) person for doing that.
Well ... we have to reduce them to a 2D plane to visualize them ...
"The purpose of a system is what it does" is a shorthand statement that comes out of the study of complex, human-involved, systems that lack unitary design, often having many actors having a hand in creating over time, and mostly is a statement about the lack of analytical utility of any other concept of the purpose of a system, and it is about analyzing the operation of those systems over a window of time. A longer phrase from the person who coined it on the same topic and explaining it is, “There is after all, no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do.”

> Claiming "The purpose of a system is what it does." is like claiming that software bugs do not exist.

It's more like claiming that there is no meaningful difference to any outside observer between a bug that is not eradicated over an extended time window and an intentional feature.
A common usecase for offline-first mobile app situations is shared business logic, especially for validations. Being able to validate client-side and detecting issues without a server dependency is a nice boost to UX.
I do!

I met a nursing student in Shanghai who ended up marrying a "driver". (For reference, the way you get into nursing school in China is by flunking the college entrance exam.)

Attending Fudan University, I also met several students there and at the school across the street, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. Both are highly prestigious.

Everyone's graduated by now, and the most materially successful of all the contacts I made, by far, is the nurse. She already owns a Tesla and an apartment in Shanghai. (She also has a child, which is true of only one of the university students.) What's her secret?

The couple's parents bought those things for them.
Not all states have at will employment. And government employees in particular are typically protected from "at will" and instead should be fired for cause.

That's why gov jobs offer greater job security, while paying less than in the private sector.
> In most cases, it is much easier to find a job while you have a job than it is to find a job when you don't have a job.

I think "streamer" is one of those cases where it's least true.

> The action isn't "quit preemptively", the action is finding another job now, instead of making some other investment you would With your time today.

The action is finding an entirely different career which is a lot more obnoxious than finding another job normally is.

Sometimes risk is less bad than the alternatives.
I'm not sure everything in there is 50 years old. Not even that everything is actually in COBOL. Those gigantic beasts tend to eventually be quarantined into some VM, never touched again, and then somebody puts some modern-ish wrappers around. For example some HTTP JSON API endpoints to query things. And what do they do when a date is missing? Not returning one would surely make sense. But I'd also expect layers and layers of abstractions in between, maybe some libs to transform some data type in one representation into another. Somewhere on the way, this date as a default value could easily slip in. It's not entirely made up, it's in an ISO standard. Maybe the lib was strictly following that standard.

It's not hard to imagine that something like this actually happened. Dismissing it outright just because COBOL does not have a datetime data type and the standard is only 21 years old (that far pre-dates node.js btw) could be playing into the hands of the Muskians who surely love any possibility to get out of this BS in case they made a mistake. Would not be the first they made nor the first they handled that way.

But with virtual memory it wouldn't be much of a cost at all (..on 64-bit systems, that is; things are more sad on 32-bit if one cares about those). Just some kernel-internal data structure configuration to ensure that future memory page allocations don't overlap this one.

dlopen is a requirement for importing native libraries in non-compiled languages; and, regardless, I as a library author don't get to choose whether users will avoid using dlopen and so have to assume worst-case.
One might argue encountering something like this would be more akin to a natural catastrophe (like a killer meteor) rather than an alien invasion.

Stephen Baxter wrote a novel in which galaxies would be regularly wiped out by a natural phenomena, and that explains why there are no aliens in his universe. It's "Manifold: Space" if you're interested.
LLVM now uses something they call the "Greedy Register Allocator". As far as I can tell, it's a variation on the linear allocator with some heuristics. Here's a presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf8kD-eAaxg

This is amazing work! If folks have ever wondered why suspend is so difficult to get working on linux and why debugging it is equally difficult, this is a single datapoint with lots of information about all the things that can go wrong. Even now I have a thinkpad P1G4 where the fans won't turn off automatically unless I turn them off before going into suspend. Recently I also started having crackling issues with my bluetooth headphones after resuming from suspend and had to disable node suspension there also (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#Noticeable_audio_d...).

Random walk is definitely possible. Also possible that we're observing some "search" in the embedding space from an initial point. It's hard to tell because the chains are often similar lengths, so I don't think it really terminates early. It might be interesting to find the closest CoT component to the final answer and see how step distance inflects at that point

Which is why enterprises everywhere has software and tooling in place to provide this, for the exact things they do deliver.

If they didn't mention the language, it would be an immediate question. The main focus is parallelism.

Could the Go solution add parallelism, sure. Did they? Not yet. Does that mean no other improvement in any other language can ever be written? No.

"Rust is faster" as an off the cuff comment that should have been left out seeing it has triggered some folks to hyper focus on that point.
> It's legitimate, for example, to play through segments 1/2/3/4/5, then go back and redo segment 2, and then continue on from redone-segment-2 to an all new redone-segment-3, which has lost all pretense of existing in the same timeline as the original run did.

Even then that could be pretty dubious, depending on the game - you'd need to demonstrate that your redone-segment-3 ended at a game state indistinguishable from the end of the original segment 3.
Some things are subjective, that's life as far as I'm concerned. It's also part of the definition you chose.

It's not capitalism, per se. It's a society that overvalues individualism and devalues family. IMO, of course. One part of the social compact used to be that in return for parents taking care of you as a child, you took care of them when they were old. It worked for literally 1000's of generations.
Non materialist bullshit.
Sure. Of course you can't commit to the main branch and your commit will never pass code review (which is a requirement for merging), let alone the automated tests in CI that apply formatting and fail if anything is not formatted as it should be.

These safeguards save so much time that there should be no excuse for not having them.
Interesting. I've been working on a pre-commit replacement too, written in Rust but using WASI for all plugins (no exceptions!). I haven't got very far but I think this will have huge advantages over pre-commit, mostly in reliability.

Me and my colleagues have had numerous issues setting up pre-commit because it inherits Python's atrocious infrastructure.

I'm curious how this is going to deal with actually running plugins? Will it take the same approach as pre-commit and add dedicated not-very-good support for a load of different languages?

In the sense it is intended, it is entirely correct. It is not a claim about what the intent of the people involved in the system is, it is a recognition that (1) intent doesn't really aggregate, and, more importantly, even if it did (2) intent that consistently fails, because of the nature of the system, to materialize into function doesn't matter.
