A court can't issue an order to an army to surrender. A court can't force the president to nominate someone to be a federal judge.

There are some powers the executive has that can't be overruled by the courts. Now the question is - what?
A CEO sending out that memo would be similarly ill-advised. For one, that's what counsel is for. For another, workers are intentionally encouraged to interpret laws and report discrepancies via government whistleblower programs.

Python is fast enough for a whole set of problems AND it is a pretty, easy to read and write language. I do think it can probably hit pause on adding more syntax but at least everything it adds is backwards compatible. You won’t be writing a 3D FPS game engine in Python but you definitely can do a whole lot of real time data processing, batch processing, scientific computing, web and native applications, etc. before you need to start considering a faster interpreter.

If your only metric for a language is speed then nothing really beats hand crafted assembly. All this memory safety at runtime is just overhead. If you also consider language ergonomics, Python suddenly is not a bad choice at all.
From what I have seen, French people do.

Do check out the articles in the top most comment.. about how tail call optimization gets you faster interpreters.

It completely eliminates the overhead of function calls in the generated machine code while you still your code modularly using functions.
My point is that AP and other agencies need to be able to adapt to the situation on the ground. Othwerise we will get what you mention: the WH can influence the media by having only press that reports what and how its told. This is the real danger.

DOGE did claim $8B in savings on their own system on Monday. That's the whole article is about. There's even a screenshot.

The $8B -> $8M change was made in Federal Procurement System on January 22nd.

So if DOGE is who found the issue in the procurement system originally, that means they lied about saving $8B weeks after they discovered it was only for $8M.

You said whiter than white when I just gave a link to the page about grey hat hackers, not endorsing the name grey hat, so I said allow hat instead of white hat and deny hat instead if allow hat to mirror allowlist/denylist in place of whitelist/blacklist.
The '8-bit' micros all had a 16-bit address space, at least in their early implementations. (Later we got the eZ80, 65816, etc.) which lets you address 64k words of memory and the word was always 8-bit bytes.

Contrast that to the PDP-10 [1] which had a 36 bit word and a 20-bit address space and could access 256k words for a total of 1152 kilobytes.

The use of 8-bit bytes for characters I think killed off any word size other than 8-bit because otherwise it would be awkward to work with characters. [2] To be efficient you have to pack multiple characters into a word, it's something that comes up common enough you could create some special machine instructions for it, but if you want to support a C compiler you need a char. It's easiest if native pointers point to a byte. If it was otherwise you could make up a char that consists of a native pointer plus a pointer to the char inside the word, but boy what a hassle. [3]

Modern computers get many of the benefits of a larger word size (wider pipe to suck data through) by having a cache system that decouples the memory interface from the CPU, so a CPU could ask for 32 bits and get it retrieved 8 bits at a time, or it could ask for 32 bits and get the surrounding 128 bits stored in the cache so they don't need to be retrieved next)

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-10

[2] DEC had a system of 6-bit characters, which divides nicely into 36, but you have the same problem

[3] That PDP-10 did have deep pointers that could point to a specific range of bits inside a word, that's what you need if you want something like that to be reasonable to program. I've been thinking about a fantasy computer to run inside Javascript and came across a 48-bit word size to use doubles efficiently to store words. That thing would have 24-bit address spaces, plus it would be possible to make 'deep pointers' that have 6 bits of offset and 6 bits of length (with the possibility of 0-length to point to a specific bit) and could be extended to 'wide pointers' by putting a few bits in front that would reference particular address spaces (might be video RAM, or a unit of memory protection, or made contiguous to represent a larger address space) I think I'd want enough to make a 1GB word address space so it could outdo a 32-bit machine and then let the rest be used for flags just to make it as baroque as possible... And that's why you only see 8-bit words today!

Thanks for writing this article! I quite enjoyed it.

question: does the DeepSeek's app use of hardcoded encryption keys rise beyond just their attempt to obfuscate and protect their app's private API endpoints? I believe this an attempt to make abusing their mobile app's private web APIs more difficult since even with cert-pinning disabled and HTTPS MITM'd you still can't observe the real traffic and replicate their requests.

If all its doing is obfuscation though, then I don't understand why pointing out that the keys are hardcoded is meaningful. It certainly doesn't engender trust. But if the app's binary is ultimately decoding some encrypted data, it needs the key, meaning it's ultimately available to the reverse engineer. Whether it's hardcoded or not doesn't matter.

It's a bad look, but if the app used the latest tech and assigned each client its own symmetric encryption key for a session, wouldn't you still be able to access the same data? What would be meaningfully different from a security perspective if they had done this obfuscation better?
Desktop OSes are still open platforms and yet we have GTK, Qt, Cocoa, and whatever Windows does these days. You can run a Qt app on macOS, but macOS users are used to Cocoa and prefer the experience of using a native-feeling app. Wouldn’t be any different if you could run Android-native apps on iOS or vice versa.

This is not how mapping works internationally. There is less agreement than I think you imagine. To give a simple non-political example, how many oceans are there and what are they named?

There are myriad authorities that maintain the official database of geographic names for use within their jurisdiction. Conflicts between these various databases are common. No one has the authority, either in theory or practice, to determine what a "correct" map looks like. To accommodate this, all mapping companies maintain a huge number of deltas for each authority.

There isn't One True Map. It is really a vast number of separate maps maintained in parallel, one for each jurisdiction that claims the authority to dictate what a map should look like. To the extent possible, companies try to minimize the number of parallel maps they must maintain. Geographic boundaries, even uncontested ones, give a hint of why this is necessary. An international border is commonly shared by several administrative jurisdictions (national and then subdivisions of each nation). If one of those several jurisdictions does a high-precision survey that moves some inconsequential line a few centimeters, what gives them the authority to edit that border for every other jurisdiction that shares it? Managing these inconsistencies is one of the basic challenges of making quasi-authoritative maps.

Mexico does not have an argument here. Everyone in every country uses an opinionated map that reflects a self-interested narrative that therefore is in conflict with maps used elsewhere. This isn't a surprise or shocking, things have always worked this way. The US, like Mexico, absolutely has the authority to make any map they want. No one is required to use either of those maps and in fact many countries reject both the American and Mexican versions of the map.

First you made incorrect and misleading statements. Then when I point it out you try to rhetorically shift blame on to me.

To answer your misleading and irrelevant question, I have never been banned by Bluesky. What did you do to get banned on Mastodon? Do you understand that "moderation" and "banned for violating the ToS" are one and the same?

ATProto is not any better than ActivityPub (ie Mastodon) regarding the impact of network effects on moderation. The "big few" retain their outsized influence with both protocols, at least as far as I am aware. If there is a technical misunderstanding about this on my part then do please point it out.

Moreover, the current situation is significantly worse on ATProto because the vast majority of the network currently relies on a single provider.

To be clear, I am not opposed to ATProto. I am only opposed to inaccurate technical comparisons.
I would not define ChatGPT as a wrapper, anything where you are doing actual training/learning and updating weights is by most persons definition, not a wrapper. Just injecting stuff into the context or using RAG is a wrapper because there are no weight updates anywhere.

I know you're trying to make a point or something, but Apple or an independent service center will do just that for not much more than the price of the battery.
Respectfully, i don't think that sentiment is present in the original comment.

If anything, the comment is saying the opposite. Winners write history and get to name stuff. Often names just stick even after territory changes hands, but its undoubtedly true that a lot of place names in usa & canada are in english because britian "won". If france won more things would have french names. If spain won spanish. Undoubtedly if various indigenous groups "won" than a lot more things would have indigenous names. This doesn't make indigenous people special, it makes them the same as any other nation-state type group.
If you know Haskell and don't know C++ then C++ will be harder to read. Haskell is definitely less widely used than C++, but that doesn't make it more complex.
Google seems like the wrong entity to dispute that with. They're just doing their best to follow the map policies of the countries they operate in.
My objective description of your overuse of hyperbole was accurate.

Your comeback is that Allsides has stated that "The AP Sometimes Mixes Subjective Analysis Into News Articles".

Correct .. sometimes.

That's a far position from "worst journalistic offenders because of poor standards compounded by less visibility on their pervasive left-leaning bias" which is unquestionably hyperbolic rhetoric and intuitively obvious as such to the meanest intellect.

Your ball. I'm off, have fun.

What makes you so sure that the placement in the TIOBE index is due to its syntax? That sounds like a weird argument to me.

By that logic, Lua, Scala and Elixir have even weirder syntax that people despise.

> The executive branch of government is more accurately viewed as a monolithic organization which derives 100% of it's authority by delegation from the US President

That is inaccurate. Almost all federal departments and agencies derive their authority from acts of Congress. The President has very limited authority to create and empower agencies.

The strongest argument against the CFPB is that is was not created by an act of Congress. Trump could not create a DOGE so he renamed the USDS. He cannot shut down USAID, but he can mismanage it.

The president is required by law to execute the laws passed by Congress even if he strongly disagrees. The mass firings and funding holds have the legal fig leaf that he is managing them to the best of his ability.
Moore's law is empirical, and do you honestly think an asml duv machine could exist with 1980s computing power?
I agree. American misadventures in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan have eroded the American peoples appetite for intervention. But there is somethings to be said for being the arsenal of democracy and defenders of a liberal world order. If we don't defend a LWO, we will sit and watch as illiberal dictators carve up the world and subjugate its people. Maybe thats okay if we save money and don't risk becoming the bad guy ever.
Maybe they should build in a test/reward system somehow to make it more appealing to use by humans. Gamification is the corporate buzzword I think
Theoretically, if you can make Trump happy and show you are on his side, Trump could make that case disappear.

Or, more realistically, Trump will still screw them over anyway, scorpion & frog style.

Large companies are bending over backwards to curry favor with Trump (see Meta settling and paying millions on a case they were winning and almost certainly would win).
The fact that hackers have been productive civil servants doesn't really change the standard. To make it explicit: there is no obvious mitigating qualification in this case.

Your whole essay is vacuous, because:

So you agree, they can say "no more elections."?

Also, as a point, I wasnt saying there would NOT be elections, but if they were fair and not banana republic elections.
Where do people think the agency derives 100% of it's power from? The President!

You clearly do not understand how the American system of governance is supposed to work. Every department has enabling legislation. Below is a link to a law passed by Congress and signed by the President establishing the DOJ.

If this is genuinely worrying to you, take some solace in that post-quantum alternatives are undergoing standardization and implementation right now (Signal and iMessage, for example, have already deployed some PQC, as have others).

However, this announcement is a nothing-burger. As I mentioned down-thread, you should view any QC announcement/press-release with extreme skepticism unless it includes replicable (read: open-source targeting hardware other researchers can test on) benchmarks for progress on real-world use-cases (e.g., Shor, Grover, or a newly-identified actually-interesting use-case). OP does not. Nothing to see here.

Worth saying, I am not a cryptographer—I do cryptography-adjacent research engineering. However, given the level of hype going around this industry, I think it's fair to at least expect to see the spec-sheet as it were.

All the best,
When Congress passes a law saying, "create an agency that sets rules about air pollution, whose director is appointed by the president", the constitution demands that the executive branch do exactly that. Interpreting that to mean "The president personally sets rules about air pollution, using an agency if he likes" is unconstitutional and I think the vast majority of both parties agreed on this for most of the last hundred years.
Peer to peer would be tough, you really need a 10G network connection to some tier 1 provider, and about 2500 machines to distribute the crawling/serving load. (that is if you want to do a full stack search engine). And while you can run that infrastructure for on the order of $100K/month (not counting depreciation) that means you need roughly $5K/day in revenue from that cluster. At $10 RPM ($10 revenue per thousand queries) you're looking at a minimum of 500,000 'real' search queries during 'English time' (roughly 7AM to 11PM GMT). That's 31,250 queries per hour or ~9 queries per second (average).

And that just pays to keep the lights on at the colocation center. If you're paying off the development costs (30 - 50 developers over 2 - 3 years) and the cost of an office somewhere. You'll want at least double that revenue or you'll go broke before you break even.

Ideally you are the 'go to' place for people looking to buy something as those queries make money. People researching Douglas Fairbanks for a high school essay consume queries but don't generate ad revenue.

It isn't for the faint of heart.

If the candidate is a protected class and they are rejected for "cultural fit" it will be an easy case for EEOC to raise a discrimination case.

This is effectively how Harvard was rejecting Asian applicants. They created a "personal fit" / cultural fit quality that Asians scored low on . Supreme Court found this to be discrimination.

It doesn't matter if you are truly discriminating, it matters how well you have tangible evidence of the employee not meeting the qualifications for the role.

> we never get real useful quality of life improvements for basic functional programming like TCO or multi line lambdas

A lambda can be as big of an expression as you want, including spanning multiple lines; it can't (because it is an expression) include statements, which is only different than lambdas in most functional languages in that Python actually has statements.
Well, if he wants to break the mold, get a MiniDisc setup. Far better than tape: better sound, better form factor, very hard to damage. Most MiniDisc recorders (maybe all?) take digital input, so you have minimal loss of quality (ATRAC is lossy but it is very good).

Why do you support Trump being an autocrat?
The issue isn't really impurities and noise, quantum error-correction solves that problem. The issue is that the supporting technologies don't scale well. Superconducting qubit computers like google's have a bunch of fancy wires coming out of the top, basically one for each qubit. You can't have a million wires that size, or even a smaller size, so the RF circuitry that sends signals down those wires needs to be miniaturized and designed to operate at near 0K so it can live inside the dilution refrigerator, which is not easy.

Microsoft's technology is pretty far behind as far as capacity but the scaling limitations are less significant and the error-correction overhead is either eliminated or smaller.
I guess I'm wondering what is the point of tail-call optimizations, or even async/await when it's all super slow and bounded by the runtime itself? There are basically no improvements whatsoever to the core cpython runtime. So really what is all this for? Some theoretical future version of Python that can actually use these features in an optimal way?
