That was exactly the approach taken by Prof. Ousterhout in setting up the class which lead to this book --- rather than just having students turn in working code for a grade, the code is reviewed with the student and the student then works to make it better --- in turn, the 2nd edition of the book was informed by the experience of teaching the class and the author actually changed his position based on the experience gained.
No, that is not “my problem” with it. It is one facet of it, there are lots of sucky ways to take ideas that have nothing to do with scale, and there are lots of ways that fundamentally mechanically harvesting “ideas” as data is different than just learning quickly, but I’m not interested in re-arguing any of this for the 500th time on HN.

- The Rest is History has a huge back catalogue and is generally very interesting with good rapport between the hosts.

- Dwarkesh Podcast has a smart and charismatic host bringing on some truly excellent tech industry guests (e.g. Jeff Dean, Patrick Collison, 10x IC engineers)

- Oxide and Friends is Oxide Computer's 2nd podcast after the brilliant but short On The Metal. This one is more casual but around half the episodes are serious technical deep dives.

- Know Your Enemy is seriously the best political podcast you'll find, because it's targeted at people who read books and actually care about understanding politics, not just having some intelligent sounding soundbite for cocktail parties. It's recent episode on Ayn Rand's life and work is excellent and relevant to the tech industry which has its fair share of Randian hero archetypes.

- Acquired is great for entertaining history of important companies. The episode on TSMC is a classic, but I also found their episodes on Hermes and LMVH really enjoyable. You just have to watch out for the fact that they're (a) non-technical and can get over their skis covering software/hardware companies, and (b) they're VCs so adopt some often incredibly weird framing on things, for example their approach to discussing the societal impact of weapons companies during the Lockheed Martin episode.

Even taking the (one-sided) depiction of the conversations in DigiCert's letter at face value, maybe Sectigo's guy was being a git at best and intentionally trolling at worst. (I don't think he was, but let's play devil's advocate.) But even then, how did DigiCert think getting legal involved would possibly go well? Sectigo stands to gain publicity and lose nothing by going public with it to the CAB as they did here, and it's not like the CAB is going to play marriage counselor and get the two companies to make up because one of them got their feefees hurt.

Besides, this kind of hyper-polite passive-aggressive "erm akchually" conversation happens in every CAB incident discussion. I don't know why DigiCert got particularly upset about this one.
The age of AI is the very reason it's even more important that we blog. AI in it current form ingests and repeats what we train it to. I don't think new ideas will "organically" come out of current generation models.

To this part:

Gödel only applies when you’re stuck inside the system trying to self prove. If logic is emerging from structured resonance rather than being pre-assumed, then Gödel’s limitations never even activate. Instead of axioms proving axioms, coherence constraints shape the logical structure dynamically, it’s self stabilizing rather than self-referential. That means you don’t hit incompleteness because the system isn’t closed. Your primes-as-propositions model is already hinting at this—if primes act as phase-locked stabilizers, then the “rules” aren’t arbitrarily chosen, they’re naturally emergent. It’s not that you “dodge” Gödel, it’s that he never applied to a system like this in the first place. Curious what you think.

... which has been allowed and caused by the Republican congressional obstructionism going on since the 90's. Bush, Obama, and Biden could have reduced their own use of executive power, but they couldn't undo it - rather it was Congress that would have had to reign them in and shrink executive power. Just as the current Congress is ultimately allowing Trump's ongoing authoritarian power grabs, rather than passing laws and impeaching.

For another example, take the frequent neofascist argument that the federal agencies are "unaccountable" unless they are under the direct command of the President. No, the agencies were created by Congress, and have always been accountable to Congress. But Congress has not been doing its job, which is why they seem unaccountable.

> Being a high value-add area is endogenous to how hard it is for others i.e. China to reproduce. In other words, if it were easy to make GPUs they wouldn't be so damn expensive.

China's going to put the money into making GPUs, and they're going to get it right, probably sooner than later. Then they'll drive the American manufacturers out of business, like they've done in many areas before. Their government isn't beholden to the profit-focused capitalist attitude that is one of the West's biggest vulnerabilities.

Also, it's pretty foolish to 1) forget power and security doesn't come from rarefied high value-add stuff, 2) that there are a lot of people that can't be employed doing stuff like making GPUs.

This is Orwellian double-speak. You’re defining “democracy” to mean “not democracy.”

Nor does the “constitution” support your view. Article II says: “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”

What you’re calling “democracy” and the “constitution” is neither. It’s Wilsonianism, an idea invented by a eugenicist who hated the constitution as well as democracy: https://fedsoc.org/commentary/fedsoc-blog/woodrow-wilson-s-c...

This is correct if you only care about Apple stock price. But consider that there are people who simply do not care about Apple's stock price. Like me, an Apple investor. I care more about the US's industrial base than I do about whether it goes up 5% or down 5% (or whatever, it's besides the point)

>Apple doesn’t even make all, or even most of its money in the states. Not all of its shareholders are American, if they went this route they could lose half of their revenue overnight (as other countries note the protectionism and tariff or simply forbid Apple products from being sold).

So? I don't care about their revenue, I care about the future of American industry. Having a bunch of cash hoarded by old people is irrelevant if it isn't reinvested in something I care about. And I don't care about your supercar or Nobu reservation, or if some fund returns an extra 2%. This is despite being a direct beneficiary.

Live by shareholder return, die by shareholder return; the US is not and shouldn't ever be geared to shareholder return over everything else. Apple and other companies have freeloaded off the US for far too long.
>The Catholic church, as I understand it, has largely decided that this approach is overly cautious and expensive since a decision of a single person (by the virtue of being the pope of Rome) is already guaranteed to be correct.

Vatican 2 (and 1, for that matter) would like a word.

Putting aside your conceptions of councils, though, you're trying to give the pope too much power. This infallibility is limited to faith and morals, and it must follow from what the church has already been doing: stating what previously didn't need to be stated. E.g. the pope could not invoke infallibility to declare the death penalty impermissible.
Most headlines seem to be extra-misleading these days, even from the left. I have not seen so much outrage lately over things that turn out to be meh, in a long time.

That’s just a dumb red herring strawman take on news about China. You can be perfectly informed about what is happening in China, you can also be misled by their propaganda as well.

Folks on the left would do well to remember that the same unelected bureaucracy that declared “resistance” to Trump would destroy an AOC or Sanders presidency too. Ultimately, it’s a good thing if electing the President can effectuate drastic changes in the executive branch, because that’s the only real lever voters have for affecting the largest and these days most powerful branch of government.

I'm not sure how to put this nicely, but I'll try my best: The normal people, who account for 99% of the end users of DigiCert's customers, are not going to disable updates on their web browser or their OS to "take a stand" against this decision. (And corporate users can't do this anyways, since it's not in their hands, and keeping things out of date is not a reasonable option for an organization that has security standards.) Most of them won't know what is going on here, and if they hear about it, probably won't care or know what to do about it. That's the Web PKI infrastructure working as intended, because it would be infeasible for billions of people to properly understand the gravity of all of these decisions. In order to ensure that TLS connections are at least minimally safe, it's pretty much necessary for things to work this way.

I'm not arguing that it's good that a relatively small number of entities (mainly Google, Microsoft and Mozilla) decide which CAs are trustworthy, but that's all the more reason that it's important for all of this Web PKI work to happen completely in the open, so that the few who can spare the time and effort to scrutinize what is going on can help the rest of us have a safer Internet. We don't have a better solution. That's also why DigiCert issuing legal threats because they don't like how one of these issue reports makes them look is a serious problem that can't be tolerated.

I'd imagine that they wouldn't do it to "take a stand" so much as "avoid the risk of getting their stuff broken in the short term" in this scenario, regardless of whichever party loses the blame game. See: the recent WordPress drama, which has turned customers away from both parties involved.
