I think that letting it go to a jury is reasonable. QI short-circuits the entire jury process, ending the case almost immediately. Letting a lawsuit develop and letting a jury decide if the Officers actions were reasonable or not, given the totality of the circumstances, seems the correct solution to the problem, which as you note is somewhat tricky. After all, the officers who arrested the original 15 Episcopal Priests were found not liable by a jury of their peers. If it worked for them, why do you think it wouldn't work now?

Yes, police officers will have to deal with more lawsuits, but that's not an outcome that bothers me particularly. Society grants them a great deal of rights to violence that the rest of us do not have, they should likewise face greater scrutiny for their choices, or they are not worthy of holding that responsibility.

Note that Colorado removed QI by law, and made officers personally liable (up to certain limits) and seems to not be any sort of anarchy.

Doesn't this heavily apply to building software as well? e.g. instead of spray and pray development we should get a better understanding of the model we're working with.

If my parser gets null's when it should be non-null then I first need to find where they could potentially even come from, aka get a better understanding of the model I'm working with.

I feel bad for all those kids being hurt or even killed by preventable diseases but I guess this is what people want.
I think it’s terrible that these unscrupulous officers are hiding behind QI when they knew what they were doing was both wrong and unconstitutional…not to mention mean. Their mothers taught them better than this.

I also think we should find a way to reform the function of QI as a protection for civil servants.

But.

This is why moral leadership matters in government, at every level. The government’s agents will always possess enough power to hurt or embarrass or kill its citizens and the truth is that no amount of fear of prosecution will fully take that away. The particular law enforcement office in this case has a massive cultural problem if it would tolerate this kind of thing in the first place. If the officers involved knew their superiors would discipline the hell out of them for engaging in this kind of behavior, it wouldn’t happen nearly as much.

But the reform there isn’t just to fix the law, it’s to fix the process of selecting and incentivizing law enforcement leadership, too. Sheriffs and prosecutors should be expected to run on a zero tolerance policy for this kind of evil and be hauled in front of city council to testify every time it happens. It’s embarrassing for a community and we should all expect better of the people we trust with our public safety.

I understand that there are recruiting challenges with LEO’s and it can be tenuous for a mayor to get too confrontational with the sheriff. Maybe we need an independent oversight board or something. But we can re-incentivize good behavior, and then expect our leaders to exhibit it.
You can. This is fully supported.

That case was wildly mischaracterized. The restaurant that allegedly caused the wrongly death was not owned or operated by Disney, but Disney was dragged into the lawsuit anyways on the basis that they listed the restaurant on their website. Disney retorted that if they could be on the hook for a wrongful death under such tenuous circumstances, that they should be let off the hook on the basis of the tenuous waiver the plaintiff signed years before.

I write public policy and law, but have not found a competent AI that can replace what I can do. I think it is not so much about the "black letter of the law" but in the way that humans may perceive and interpret it. That and the AI just gets a lot of things wrong, and can't craft a legal statute. Maybe someday but I think in law and policy it's best to avoid AI.

The article seems to want to distinguish between "bad" and "good" bots, yet beyond the introduction, seems to treat them exactly the same.

Why are website authors so adamant I need to use whatever client they want to consume their content? If you put up a blog online, available publicly, do you really care if I read it in my terminal or via Firefox with uBlock? Or via an AI agent that fetches the article for me and tags it for me for further categorization?

It seems like suddenly half the internet forgot about the term "user-agent", which up until recently was almost always our browsers, but sometimes feed readers, which was acceptable it seems. But now we have a new user-agent available, "AI Agents", that somehow is unacceptable and should be blocked?

I'm not sure I agree with the premise that certain user-agents should be blocked, and I'll probably continue to let everyone chose their own user-agent when using my websites, it's literally one of the reasons I use the web and internet in the first place.
I have found that it’s way more effective to reward good behavior than to punish bad behavior.

Rewarding good behavior takes more effort than punishment though. It requires more patience because you don’t immediately see the results of your actions. Over time, they add up.

And I totally understand this. I have gotten angry at my dog , and I have shouted at her. However, after some reflection, the situation is always caused by some fault of my own. After all, I am the highly intelligent being, and I should know better. But it’s easier to shout than to critically examine your own behavior.

But hey, we can totally disagree on this. I think that hitting beings (either animals or humans) is not correct. Clearly, you think otherwise. You’re entitled to your opinion. Even if I think it is not morally correct.

I would encourage you to think about whether that’s a belief you acquired by your own means or just something you believe because you were hit yourself.

Have you consistently tried to discipline with positive reinforcement? Have you found it to be ineffective? Have you consulted with professionals? Maybe you have. Maybe not.

Sometimes we do things just because that’s how we grew up and not really because we believe in them. That’s how we end up in these never ending violence cycles. But it only takes one brave, and introspective, person to stop :)
That's definitely not the case. I've worked in the UK on two health platform things, and the US market was by far the only one that could sustain normal prices.

The similarities are eerie. My wife fell in love with a little 60's brick ranch that had foundation issues, mold, and everything else you could imagine. By the time I had that place fully restored I had coworkers, friends of coworkers, and on a couple occasions random people in Lowes approaching me to see if I was available for work. Gotta say knowing my work will last decades is pretty gratifying compared to the disposable nature of coding.
Qualified immunity got expanded from an immunity to lawsuits over doing your job appropriately to immunity from prosecution over anything you did while holding the job.

Why do we need QI for, e.g., city clerks? Because otherwise every permit issuing decision that they make as part of their job that pisses someone off would result in a lawsuit.

Why do we need QI for police committing murder? We don't.
The important thing to remember about Freud is that, at least compared to the base case, it gets results. From the pragmatic aspect of psychology this presents something worthy of study. My mature take on Freud is that all the cookie wierdness derived from the fact that he was trying to get people do discuss their trauma - without discussing the specifics of their trauma

We understand “shame” well enough and the principle of “unconditional positive regard” is central to much of modern talk therapy.

It’s important to understudy that 200 years ago people viewed sexuality very differently and even the notion of what is and is not sexually apporiate was not widely discussed.

Freud operated in less illuminated times than ours and it was necessary for him to operate in code to deliver his therapy. It is my reading of history that he got close to things in doing this that powerful people didn’t want and this is what led to the widespread attempts to discredit him.
The problem is if that code hasn't already been written in some form or another, then the LLM is much less effective at giving recommendations.

I've been playing around with embedded systems, specifically LoRa libraries on ESP32s. Code from LLMs is next to useless for a lot of what I'm trying to do since it is relatively niche.

Before that app developers were reading IMEI or mac addresses, which were arguably worse because they can't be reset.
Whether accelerated UTF-8 decoding breaks RISC-ness is an interesting question, and not one with an obvious answer IMO.

Supposing we loaded 4 bytes into a register with a load instruction (quite RISC), we could then have a "decode UTF-8" instruction which could set two output registers: one receiving the decoded code point, and the other receiving the number of bytes consumed (1-4). That's another perfectly RISCy operation: read one input register, operate on it, update two output registers. Most RISC architectures also allow base+offset addressing at least, so you can chain this to another load using the output of that second register; worst case, you'd need to add base+offset in a dedicated instruction. No violations of RISC here.

However, you'd start running into problems with alignment. Loading 4 bytes into a register typically requires 4-byte alignment, but UTF-8 is a variable-length encoding (hence the desire to accelerate it in the first place!). Is unaligned load RISCy? Many architectures now support it, but they usually didn't start off with it. Then again, 64-bit architectures can just ignore the problem entirely, since they can load 8 bytes at a time, which will always be enough to fit an arbitrary 4-byte value at any alignment. You'd just need to shift the value in the register by the amount of the misalignment, which is another valid RISC operation.

If you wanted to sidestep the alignment issue, then an alternate solution would be to decode the UTF-8 sequence straight from memory, but that definitely feels more like CISC to me.

I don't think you should halt progress just because people would lose jobs because people create and do jobs because there is something that needs to be done.

Besides, there will be jobs that can't be done by AI for a long time to come and the current AIs are relatively crappy compared any average software dev.

Just to clarify, you can run as many LSPs in a given file type as you want.

Common features like completions, diagnostics, and auto-formatting will multiplex to all of the LSPs.

Admittedly, there are certain features that currently only use one LSP: inlay hints and document highlights are examples. For which LSP features is multi-server support important to you? It shouldn't be too hard to generalize.
I suppose what I'm looking for is maybe a translation from git to jj from the perspective of working in a repo with other users that are using git. Something along the lines of:

1. init jj in an existing git repo

2. instead of branching, do x, y, z

3. instead of committing after changes are done, do x, y, z

4. when pushing, do x, y, z

5. if someone else pushes to the same branch, here's how to handle it

6. if someone rebases and force pushes the branch, here's how to handle it

7. if you have merge conflicts, here's how to handle that

I think I'm having a hard time trying to grok the jj "mental model" while simultaneously understanding how it translates to an existing git repo.

I suspect for jj to get traction outside of single devs or companies that use jj exclusively, some extra focus in the docs giving guidance in the liminal space between would be super helpful.

> ...a different underlying model is an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence

You are looking at the syntax and not the reactivity model (how it determines what functions to call when a change happens).

The post doesn't need to mention Preact because every other framework is signals-based except for React. Vue is simply the stand-in for "signals-based reactivity". Vue has different syntax from Preact (though it, too, can also use JSX), but it has the same reactivity principle.

https://preactjs.com/guide/v10/signals/

> What makes Signals unique is that state changes automatically update components and UI in the most efficient way possible. Automatic state binding and dependency tracking allows Signals to provide excellent ergonomics and productivity while eliminating the most common state management footguns.

It uses the same underlying reactivity model as Vue, Svelte, Solid, and Qwik.

Vue docs: https://vuejs.org/guide/extras/reactivity-in-depth.html#conn...

Solid docs: https://www.solidjs.com/docs/latest/api#createsignal

Svelte: https://svelte.dev/blog/runes#Signal-boost

Qwik docs: https://qwik.dev/docs/components/state/#usesignal

In the blog post, Vue is the stand-in for signals-based reactivity. All signals-based reactivity models work the same way at a high level (their difference being primarily in their low-level DOM diff and update).

My prediction is that even React will eventually end up signals based because of TC39 Signals: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-signals
Technological change is like a force of nature. It's not polite. It doesn't care about your or your neighbor's preferences. It doesn't present itself as a gift. It doesn't even matter whether AI is harmful or beneficial because AI is here to stay regardless. You may detest AI but it will still become ubiquitous and you will be forced to adapt to this new reality. The history of the world is in a sense a history of technology. Some countries adapt and other countries get left behind, but no country can escape the rippling influence of change.
