Former libertarian here. One the principals of libertarianism is that you cannot do others harm and if you do so you have to compensate them. The issue with that idea is risk management. How do you compensate someone whose products and services has killed or handicapped someone? A life for a life? Bring back the Code of Hammurabi?

The best thing we could come up with is that as long as you follow a set of risk limiting rules then you will be spared from the highest punishment.
The president has no such authority, no matter how much he claims to. The power is with the states.
Toll lanes exist many places and would seem to violate your rule. I don't think that's the issue, and explicitly that's not the reason the administration has given for their answer.
I agree. Absorbing 100 J (the paper's assumption) over an entire 75 kg body would be ~1.3 Gy whole-body dose, or 1.3 Sv for photons. That would probably make you sick. Traditional radiation therapy for cancer delivers 2 Gy/day x 30 days to the tumor to kill it.

What if mysterious illnesses like fibromyalgia are just PBHs? Hmmm...

Why was Panchanathan chosen? His Wikipedia is unspectacular:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethuraman_Panchanathan

But he was suggested by both Obama and Trump. Is it this?

"Panchanathan highlighted how universities like ASU ought to work hand-in-hand with businesses to create curriculum that fosters the entrepreneurial traits employers look for today, in order to produce a future of innovation ecosystems."

Or does he facilitate flooding the US with cheaper H1B scientists from India?

I no longer understand why people rise to the top (this is not limited to the US, Europe is the same).

You are mixing everything up and honestly seem to be a bit hysteric. Nobody rang the red door. Nobody is talking about magical utopias. You can calm down and stop barking.

I made an argument for sane regulation and its role in history. Since you are not even addressing the direct casual relationship and generously conflate capitalism with industrialization, I won't engage further.

The Cryptocurrency Scam That Turned a Small Town Against Itself
If I were at risk of being murdered, and only a cop lying could stop it, I'd want the cop to lie. Even to kids!

Let's say you’re being held hostage by a dangerous armed criminal who has already harmed others and is threatening to kill you. The police arrive, and the criminal demands to know if there are snipers positioned outside. If the cop truthfully says “Yes,” the criminal might panic and shoot you immediately. Instead, the cop lies and says, “No, it’s just us talking, let’s work this out,” buying time for a sniper to take the criminal down and save your life.
This is a non sequitur. The original comment referred to the $116M HP paid to acquire the assets. None of that was paid to employees.

Yes, Humane burned through $200M of investor capital, and some of it was spent on salaries for employees. The employees likely accepted lower cash salaries than were otherwise competitive, in exchange for equity which is now worthless. What is your point exactly?

Are you suggesting the employees pulled a fast one somehow because the investors paid their salaries? That’s, obviously, how venture-backed startups work, and everyone involved (especially the investors) is very aware of the trade. In exchange, the investors own much more of the company than the employees and have a much higher upside potential if the company succeeds.
I loved the interface Humane AI wanted the world to work through. But I hated the subscription fee, the lack of wifi, and the reliance on modem connectivity. It was supposed to be a wearable device (that connects to your phone). It was supposed to complement your smartwatch with an on-demand screen in the palm of your hands. It was supposed to be AI augmented, but not AI centered.

I am glad someone will take the tech. But I am upset it is HP and I doubt they have a vision for the product.
I said intact. Aka not cut. Also Space X was contracted to “fix” FAA that is on the chopping block. So you will be paying Musks folks.
They (VIP protection outfits) tend to recruit former law enforcement into their ranks so they can maintain connections that allow them to skirt the law
Ahhh that's very interesting. I'm glad you've experienced that! I asked because I had mostly seen the latter, and in the few cases there were parents who had the capacity, they had been so soured by their own experiences in schools they didn't see the value in it for their children.

I hope one day we can solve the problems for both cases.
I think I noted that the Shire is different, if not wildly different, from most other locales in LOTR. In general the Shire is much more realistic than other LOTR Locales (IMO). Though there's for sure an element of just ignoring things that don't matter too much - like how Lothlórien works economically.

But I'll look at the article, I've read other ACOUP stuff and enjoyed.

You'd have to make at most extremely limited exceptions (for example, no, a generic "national security" concern would not be a limited exception).

I'm convinced that the benefits of such a norm would far outweigh the downsides.
Re the Apportionment Act of 1929 -- care to elaborate? Are there figures for "the worst representation in the free world"?

My impression is that there are many reasons for the dysfunction of congress; the media feedback control system (in a literal and metaphorical sense) plays an important role, as does the filibuster, lobbyists, and other corruption.

(Aside: in aging, an organisms feedback and homeostatic systems tend to degrade / become simpler with time, which leads to decreased function / cancer etc. While some degree of refactoring & dead-code cruft-removal is necessary - and hopefully is happening now, as I think most Americans desire - the explicit decline in operational structure is bad. (Not that you'd want a systems biologist to run the country.))
What was the claim? That there are millions of people above 120 years old in the SS database that aren't marked dead? That doesn't sound extraordinary, or a claim that's hard to challenge by even past employees that had access to the data. but all we got is propaganda and FUD.
People have been saying for years that this has always been part of the plan.

This bill is focused on handling juvenile suspects, but there's a lot of work that needs to be done to improve things for juvenile witnesses and victims. In too many jurisdictions in the US, if a young child is believed to be a witness or victim of a crime, they are treated the same way as adults. Sometimes this means little children are placed in interrogation rooms with detectives. This can be traumatic to children, and can often lead to inaccurate information. Anyone who's tried to get information from a 5 year old can attest to how difficult that can be, even about mundane subjects.

The gold standard is to use child advocacy centers (CACs). Children suspected to be witnesses or victims to a crime are taken to a facility specifically for child interviews (i.e. not an interrogation room in a police station) and the interview is conducted by a trained forensic psychologist. These psychologists are specifically trained to work with children, and ask questions in a way that isn't leading and is likely to get accurate information. There is a ton of scientific literature and known protocols in this field.
Low effort SEO content to sell another course
Yes, this needs to be pointed out a lot more.

The hero worship is one aspect of a much larger problem, I think, which is that technology culture is almost entirely defined by trends in the startup and VC spaces. It's been that way for at least a decade and a half, by my reckoning.

There is very little genuine technology subculture anymore that is willing to critique dominant trends, raise up our own heroes, and create alternatives.

I'm really hoping that demystifying "disruption" will create a moment of reckoning for technologists.

I think a better solution than to "go offline" is to just turn the whole site into static content and leave it online forever.

I have been running a music discovery website for a similar timeframe as Watmm now:

https://www.gnoosic.com

And for about 10 years, it also had a forum:

https://www.gnoosic.com/discussion/

It was just too much work to keep the forum running. But I can't imagine removing it from the internet. I know that some people are still happy to find their old posts every now and then and read what they wrote back then.
I don't know, that sounds quite LLM-generated to me.
> Should a defendant walk if it they can prove at trial that the cop said something that wasn't true?

Absolutely yes. These lies cause real harm, and the cops need to face consequences or they have no reason to abstain.

A friend of some of my friends would be alive today if a cop had not lied to him about the consequences of a minor fender-bender, claiming he'd put someone in the hospital with critical injuries and it was uncertain they'd survive. (The cop was caught on tape telling his partner, "it's a lie, but it's fun"; nobody was actually hurt, at all.) Overwhelmed with remorse, feeling the world would be better off without him, he killed himself.

The cop got a week's unpaid vacation for this.
Hydrograd.jl – framework for differentiable hydrodynamics modeling
Hydrograd is a Julia-based computational hydrodynamics package with automatic differentiation (AD) capabilities. The package is designed to solve the partial differential equations (PDEs) of hydrodynamics, including the shallow water equations (SWEs) and the Navier-Stokes equations (NS). Currently, the package is under development and only supports the SWEs.

Where are the corporate lobbyists on this stuff?
My understanding is that public research funding (and its associated administration) periodically yields results that either turn into viable commercial products or tools for whole sub-industries.

Lasik surgery, PCR, CRISPR, MRIs are supposed to have come out of NSF projects, and these all became someone's line of business. Why are the heads of biotech or pharma or medical device companies not publicly stating that destabilizing the apparatus for early research risks shrinking these fields?

"Better for 10 criminals to go free than 1 innocent man suffer."
I totally get/relate to your perspective, but to be the annoying leftie in your ear:

A) Sustainable revenue is a requirement for any company, yes, but the unlimited (above-inflation) growth demanded by most large corporations is absolutely not. Lots and lots of companies operate for a long time without expecting massive growth, raises n' all. MBAs pejoratively call such companies "lifestyle businesses"--as in "just pays for people to live"--but I'd call them "normal, healthy companies".

B) More fundamentally: the idea that a social media network can only be built by a single corporation owned by investors is an omnipresent, yet extremely toxic, assumption. Mastodon represents another extreme end of the capital<->labor spectrum where anyone can contribute to the network at any time with their own instance, but I think Bluesky is a hint of a less-pure--and therefor more feasible--future.

To use the language of my favorite dream, Chomskian Anarcho-Syndicalism: imagine a social media network organized by a democratic non-profit entity akin to the Python or Linux Foundations, that then contracts out work to a hierarchy of smaller, purpose-built teams ("syndicates"), each of which may in turn contract w/ other teams. Each team would have to attract talent and negotiate enough income to pay them sufficiently still, of course, but there would be no team leader to make a surplus profit from the system -- any "surplus" would stay at the non-profit level, and thus necessarily be reinvested back into the product.

In the current system, the reason Bluesky didn't do this off the bat is obvious: no one would loan them startup funds, as ownership investment is the de facto universal way to start up an unproven venture. But we can dream bigger and better, IMHO; both on a smaller scale by building upon already-proven open protocols like AT Proto, and on a larger scale by structuring the state & economy to support this kind of model equally, if not primarily.

You are conflating anti-Israel / anti-Netanyahu and antisemitism. One of the many lies the right is using these days.

I can think Netanyahu is a dangerous person who shouldn't be in power and is causing Israel to be a not great actor on the world stage, and not a damn bit of that has anything to do with Netanyahu's race.
Subtrace proxies the program's connection using a regular TLS connection to the upstream server. For example, if you do `subtrace run -- curl https://example.com`, curl thinks it's talking to example.com over TLS, but it's really talking to Subtrace locally. Since we injected the ephemeral root CA into the system store, curl will trust the valid TLS certificate that Subtrace presents for example.com. From within the same server, Subtrace will handle the actual TLS connection to upstream example.com. That upstream connection is undecipherable to outsiders.

Everything is exactly as secure as before Subtrace. In other words, using Subtrace doesn't make the NSA's job any easier ;)
>so it's useful to just just say things without evidence, because they "might turn out to be true" in the future.

The evidence is a query run on the data. No insiders have disputed the results.

> Among mainstream users, people just don't care and this isn't remotely the differentiator people seem to hold it as.

I agree that most users don't consciously care, but I think its definitely possible that it influences how fast the phone feels and could influence purchases if you are testing them side-by-side in a store. There is some anecdotal evidence to that in the fact that Google does the extremely scummy thing of locking their non-pro Pixels to 60Hz when in demo mode regardless of the refresh rate setting chosen in the OS.

My Signal experience: ex gf in college asks what app I’m using to text. Tell her it’s Signal, E2EE, messages are only stored on her phone and nobody else can read them. She says cool and downloads the app. Four months later her phone breaks.

“Hey subjectsigma I got my new phone today. Where are all my messages?”

“… Do you have your old phone? That’s the only place they are.”

“No? Last time I got a new phone WhatsApp moved my messages over, and WA is E2EE so I thought it worked the same way.”

“Nope if you don’t have a backup or your old phone they’re gone. Sorry.”

“This is bullshit. Why does anyone use Signal. I can’t believe it deleted all my messages. I’m uninstalling it. Etc etc.”

We have a long way to go, my friend.
As a systems enthusiast I enjoy articles like this. It is really easy to get into the mindset of "this must be perfect".

In the Blekko search engine back end we built an index that was 'eventually consistent' which allowed updates to the index to be propagated to the user facing index more quickly, at the expense that two users doing the exact same query would get slightly different results. If they kept doing those same queries they would eventually get the exact same results.

Systems like this bring in a lot of control systems theory because they have the potential to oscillate if there is positive feedback (and in search engines that positive feedback comes from the ranker which is looking at which link you clicked and giving it a higher weight) and it is important that they not go crazy. Some of the most interesting, and most subtle, algorithm work was done keeping that system "critically damped" so that it would converge quickly.

Reading this description of how user's timelines are sharded and the same sorts of feedback loops (in this case 'likes' or 'reposts') sounds like a pretty interesting problem space to explore.
Are you promoting some kind of conspiracy theory that Apple is using some people's devices to do inference for other people's devices?

There's absolutely zero evidence of that, and it would be easy to observe it happening. So why are you pushing some kind of totally false narrative?

Some of these CVEs only exist because Rust takes security seriously. There was a filesystem bug: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/01/20/cve-2022-21658.html

This impacted C++'s standard library as well, but since the standard says it's undefined behavior, they said "not a bug" and didn't file CVEs.

Nobody believes that Rust programs will have zero bugs or zero security vulnerabilities. It's that it can significantly reduce them.
No analyst or technical insiders have come out to dispute it, can't be that wrong.
>Are people so used to gorilla glass that they forget other displays exist now?

Yes? Phones have gotten incredibly scratch resistant over the years. It's kind of expected that portable devices will do a good job of this because they get moved a lot.

Not saying it's easy with e-ink and touch capabilities though, it may be very hard. However, I can see why someone would expect it to 'just work'.
