>I don’t believe Congress can simply remove the ability for courts to issue restraining orders, and I don’t see why the supreme court would write any writs like that considering it’s not clear that 1. DOGE is even fully legal in the way it’s acting, and 2. that it has legal mandate for what it asks for, like in this case.

The lower federal courts are not specifically authorized in the Constitution; their power comes from the Judiciary Act and SCOTUS delegating. SCOTUS can issue writs of mandamus for whatever they want to within constitutional bounds and they might have to otherwise we'll get a bigger constitutional crisis on how much the executive branch has to listen to the judiciary.

Couldn't users in pretty much every internet-connected country use VPNs and other methods of cross-borders indirection to access even those US services which explicitly block non-US IP ranges?

If this is the case, then is it not the case under the quoted reasoning above that any internet company should be expected to have operations in every other internet-connected country?

In the world of CAD, Plasticity is only expensive when compared with free tools. The “Indie” version is $149USD, and yes a lot of that cost apparently goes to paying Siemens for a Parasolid license. Shapr3D is also Parasolid based, along with NX, Solidworks, Onshape and a bunch of others.

A sober, or an experienced trustworthy, tripsitter is almost a must. A small amount of MDMA (especially if you're not familiar with it) before taking a psychedelic can be helpful as mentioned. Having some sedatives just handy just in case may itself lessen the probability of unpleasant effects.

Micro-dosing is mostly placebo. But a good idea is to start with small doses (check e.g. the "threshold limits" at Psychonaut Wiki), and maybe faster shorter acting substances like 2C-B or mushrooms rather than longer acting like LSD.

Also good to acknowledge that psychedelics just aren't very enjoyable experiences for many, and even for most they are rarely unambiguously good.
you'll just have to trust me on this one.
Solvable with a combination of robustness and stochasticity. If you say need two randomly selected people to approve an edit, and you flag users who make too many attempts at making rejected edits (either one user, lots of bad edits or lots of users trying to make the same bad edit), the only way for a bad actor to reliably make undesirable edits would be to gain control of a very large number of potential approvers. More generally, if the cost to effectively manipulate the system is greater than the perceived reward from manipulating the system, bad actors aren't an issue.

Having thoughts around how many stars are in the observable universe is a very reasonable starting point. Even without a privileged position the observable universe is still well defined in an expanding universe - at some boundary other stars are moving away too fast to be observed. So we can absolutely state this.

Potatoes are easy to grow, however even if you grow 1000 lbs of potatoes per year, at farm sale prices that is worth like $130. So how much of that $130 did you spend on growing them, and how many hundreds of thousands of pounds would you have to be able to harvest and transport to make your salary - the fertilizer and equipment maintenance costs?

All but the largest corporate megafarms are happy to make just a few percent profit on their investment, its one of the lowest return investments out of any industry. And it isn't a stable return either, that is the average over a few decades, with year-to-year yield and profit varying up to 30%.

If you want to survive on all plants you grew yourself, potatoes are a good choice for the bulk of your calories and nutrients, but if you want to make any actual money off of it, the scale of operations needed quickly grow to massive proportions that makes it anything but easy.

I think it is more simple.

They really do not care much about it. Lets say you sell a product. You have had 3 revisions of that product. Support on that item is very minimal. The current version is what you sell and that is it. The previous versions are just historical interesting things. Properly archiving it and cataloging it takes time and money. Does talking about your older items sell you more items? Maybe maybe not. It is just a thing you sell. Not any sort of historical artifact to be preserved. It is just how you make a living scraping the margin.

But to a collector or 'fan'. All 3 hold importance to your collection. All of the details/metadata are mapped out so you know why v1 is worse/better/interesting from v2/v3.

What is worse in many of the 'fan' cases is you find it is usually 1-2 people mapping that stuff out. They map out what they find interesting. Many also get heaps of verbal and legal abuse from both the companies and other people on the net. So they bail out and whatever 'fan' site came out of it, rots. Like one project I found a few months ago. Tons of stuff mapped out but some errors here and there, no big deal. I have a set of patches ready to go to fix it. But the orig author has ghosted. They got tired of tons of abuse from other 'fans'. Frankly what I see in the previous requests I want nothing to do with it. So I keep my stuff private.

It worked out for Uber because the taxi industry was, in most parts of the world, a monopoly, inefficient and often riddled with corruption and criminal acts.

You try this with something like agriculture, which has increasingly become efficient and arguably made vast improvements over the last hundred years, and you have a recipe for disaster.

Remember than Larry Ellison is in it completely for himself and is willing to do anything I increase his bottom line. You cannot entrust something as important as agriculture to the likes of Ellison. In short: don’t trust Larry Ellison.

On reflection, my attitude to books like these indicated where I was in my understanding of programming. They used to be useful life-buoys that one clung to for dear life early in one's career in a fast-moving and often-changing industry. Then they become an interesting side-note reminding one of what they clung to as the good precepts that served them well stand out from the rest of the books. And finally they become unnecessary and seemingly dogmatic when one has become adept at swimming. In other words, essential reading depending on where you find yourself :) Disclaimer: out of these two, I only read Clean Code.

On top of that, the argument was "i hate clean code people because they use bad reasoning (read something in a blog)". These are exclusive from each other. The OC basically argued there are no good reasons for clean code.

I prefer readable code, but I wouldn't call myself a "clean code" person.

You can abuse the '>>' notation in python for pipes (or you could use |, I suppose), but you'll have to deal with whitespace shenanigans. I'm also not entirely sure about the order of evaluation. And you'll need to do partial function application by hand if you want that (though it is possible to write a meta function for that).

So one could write

class Piped:
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = value

def __or__(self, func):
return Piped(func(self.value))

def __repr__(self):
return f"Piped({self.value!r})"

Piped('test') | str.upper | (lambda x: x.replace('T', 't')) | "prefix_".__add__ # => prefix_tESt

but whether that is a good idea is a whole different matter.

That depends what you consider monitoring to be. Managers don't just know these things, they aren't walking the floor watching people, they're busy doing things. Their source of knowing these things is often looking at data for the number of things processed, or in some cases failure rates.

You're right that this doesn't need to be constant or even that automated though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Year_Plan#Role_of_G%C3%B6...

quote:

Hitler extended to Göring the power to make law simply by publishing decrees, which enabled him to create other plenipotentiaries in overall charge of various industries. Göring constantly expanded the scope of the plan until he became the de facto master of the German economy, and the Office of the Four Year Plan became, along with his control of the Luftwaffe as an independent armed service, the power base that he had lacked since the weakening of the other government positions that he held. Göring held no significant position in the Nazi Party, and his influence before he took on the Four Year Plan had been based primarily on his public popularity as a war hero and his easy access to Hitler.

The Reichswerke, an industrial conglomerate aimed at hastening growth in ore mining and steel output of Nazi Germany, a major piece of the Four Year Plan, was established and controlled by Göring.

Although the appointment of Göring as head of the plan had short-term benefits to Hitler, in the long term it was a disaster, as Göring knew next to nothing about economics, a factor that Hitler cited as one of the reasons for the choice.[12]

I think the term to search for is reflink. Btrfs is one example: https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Reflink.html

I've been trying for years to track down a quote I lost, and it sounds like something you might know, because I think it would have resonated with you.

It was from Charles Simonyi, talking about how as he got older, his prodigious ability to juggle large amounts of information in his head declined, and as a result, he started writing better code. Do you know it?

Also, I half agree with your point, but I see it happen in two different ways. When writing ad hoc code for research purposes, I see very gifted people write seemingly sloppy, to-the-point code because it's the quickest way to the result. I say seemingly sloppy because another programmer would see an intricate mechanism that in so many places is a hair's breadth from being wrong, and they would want to reorganize it to make it more obvious that the code is correct. The savant who wrote the code is like, it's already 100% obvious, how could any change make it more obvious than that?

In the software development context, I sometimes see very gifted people write incredibly complex code because they enjoy flexing their intellectual muscles and seeing the ornate towers they can create. But I also see average programmers and dumb programmers do the same thing, the only difference being that the gifted people can get away with more before it starts to hurt them. What's more, I see very good engineers, gifted but not as gifted, try to follow the example of a savant and end up accomplishing far less than they could if they cut themselves a break and wrote plain code without all the flourishes and ornaments. A gifted programmer usually gets tired of this and grows out of it, but some of them enjoy it so much they commit to fooling themselves and other people that it's the right way to write software.

> So the tendency to have this ocd need to write clean code among smart people is random

It is if they work entirely alone and their work doesn't depend at all on the success of others using their code. However, when it comes to big software projects, my experience is that it's not random: the smartest people do end up writing good code, unless they have ulterior motivations or a severe social blind spot.
"Least disappointing experience" is how I would put the better kebab places in Berlin! Shawarma in Tel Aviv is not exactly the same but similar and so much better (of course there's a lot of variability in quality there too, and it costs something like 2-3x as much as kebabs in Berlin).

I'm sure you can also get amazing specimen in Arab countries and in Turkey (I don't have first hand experience there).
I think we're in agreement.

> The actual software and code? Good luck getting that genie back in the bottle now. But, you can certainly hamstring it in other ways, and frankly, that should be good enough.

This is my point - the technology is out of the bottle. You can't stop it. You can disincentivize its use in all sorts of social and legal manners, but to go all the way back to my original comment: you can stop Apple (Coinbase) from operating, you can penalize individuals for using encryption (or cryptocurrency in this case), but encryption (and blockchain) still exists and can be self-hosted, and individuals can continue to utilize those tools.

Again, look at torrents. Its primary use case is illegal. What.CD, Oink, even TPB (at various points) have all been taken down. Yet torrenting still enjoys widespread use across the globe.

I'm not a fan of cryptocurrency either, but I do want to note that "hamstringing" it at this point will likely have many negative downstream effects on the overall economy.

Removing the advanced encryption option for new accounts is really 'caving' to the demands of the government in my view.

And in time, they will also remove the e2e encryption on existing accounts using the e2e feature to comply with UK demands.

Small pretrained models are often too “dumb” to be useful, but, if you have a task in which you can tune a model, their pretraining means you can produce an effective model with a shockingly small corpus. These can be more reliable than off the shelf models in an automated process, because even the large pretrained models have a lot of “behaviors” you can trigger with surprising inputs.
