I made no such judgement, just sort of but not really implied that I would rather serial killers die than random people and then admitted it in a purely intellectual pie in the sky sort of way—killing serial killers will not end war. Plenty of examples in history when a draft was used in times other than kill or be killed, when it was political. It is ok for the state to kill its citizens for political reasons but only when those political reasons are war? At what point does civil unrest become civil war? When that line is crossed the killings suddenly become OK? What if it were treason instead of murder and the execution of that traitor could help mitigate civil war and far more death? That comment opened a massive can of worms, it is more complicated than ideals and what we would like.
As much as Tesla hate is now being popular.

It was not Tesla that started it, they just went all in on stuff that was already happening in industry.

Capacitive and touch interfaces were supposed to be much cheaper because you can the same thing and then software define the function.

Every auto maker wanted to have one widget for all functions.
There is a large burden that smartphones have to carry by having to facilitate, or be in some way involved, in every aspect of our life. And at the same time, industries involved in producing these products, have to stay busy and employed. So we end up in a situation where everything stays in constant flux.

Updates break older apps, change the UI/UX, it's really an interesting situation we're in at the moment.
I'd bet it's a lot easier to write high reliability self driving software when you have multiple redundant sensors that don't all go to shit when it's foggy. There's probably a good reason that after a decade of r&d, every major player in this space with the exception of the one run by a narcissistic moron is using radar, lidar, and cameras in their sensor suite.
> What do you mean by "standard" SQL?

No extensions, just the default Postgres Cloud SQL offering from Google Cloud.

> Also, what makes BigQuery not a "standard SQL database" -- they use GoogleSQL, true, but many DBs have slight SQL variants.

I view BigQuery as not a standard DB because it really doesn't do transactions, rollbacks, foreign key constraints, indices, stored procedures, etc. I view it as a non-SQL database pretending to be SQL for query convenience.
> everyone has their own tailored feed

I disagree, today there are just a few platforms and on Twitter at least everyone sees about same things. I say this because the feed of my girlfriend is very similar to mine, also I see the pretty much same stuff shared on WhatsApp groups of unrelated(related only because of some interest, not having social interaction beyond the group) people.

The total number of content is much larger, probably the absolute number of topics is also much larger, but in my opinion, the diversity of topics is getting smaller and it is directed by the platforms. People’s attention spans and time is limited and the platforms are choosing what they are going to fill it up with and what would be the main topics.
The discussion was ‘history is written by the victors’, which isn’t just making books illegal. It also includes making things (intentionally) irrelevant, destroying old copies, etc.

Hell, most early Bibles count, or do you think the council of Nicea resulted in something other than what is being described for large swathes of early church writings?
This is literally the only thing that's holding me back from switching as well.

I haven't seen the movie, but I have read the book a couple of years ago, published in 2016, and I presume you could get the same information from there.

It's not really a secret how a pope is chosen, it's just not something most people are interested enough to look up (there's a missing "in" in that sentence but I couldn't decide where to put it).

Robert Harris wrote the book and also wrote Fatherland, Enigma and Pompeii. Those are three different books but I'd definitely read a book with that single title.

I cannot find it anymore, but there is a youtube video of someone making / training an llm who showed a lower precision switch switching his small model from bad to lobotomised and he even mentions he thinks it is what Anthropic does when the servers are overloaded. I notice it, but have no proof. There seems to be a large opportunity for screwing people over without consequences though, especially when using these API's at scale.

Which setting is that, DNS over HTTPS?

I switched back to Firefox the other day and this setting was enabled by default but it wasn't done silently. When you first launch Firefox a popup comes up saying it's going to be enabled but you have options to turn it off on the spot or click a link to learn more.
It’s the classic politician’s syllogism: we must do something, this [the anxiety, stress, victimisation, activated fear response, overthinking, catastrophising, etc.] is something, therefore we must do it.

The worst thing about it is how it will actually make you less resilient, and a lack of resilience just makes it harder for you to function day to day as each adverse encounter, no matter how trivial, becomes increasingly overwhelming.

To me that feels like a night terror: screaming and shouting about a frightening thing at the end of the bed, but frozen in place and unable to act, unable to fight back. Has to be someone else.

I won’t lie, I think I’ve suffered from this and it’s held me back over the past couple of years as I’d choose flight or avoidance over fight, essentially repeating the cycle until I managed to deal with it and move forward.

Only thing you can do is step back and get out of your head. Separate all the stuff you can’t action from the stuff you can.
Given the past week, I think “there's no real possibility of the transatlantic defence alliance suddenly completely failing” is wishful thinking.

In his last term Trump wanted to pullout of NATO[1], but “cooler heads” prevailed. Now these moderating forces are no longer members of his cabinet. So he will doubtlessly try officially, through legal means, or unofficially, by weakening NATO to the point where its guarantees are no longer believed, to withdraw.

The only real moderating force preventing official withdrawal is the “National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024”[2] which “prohibits the President from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO without approval of a two-third Senate super-majority or an act of Congress”.

There is no real moderating force preventing unofficial withdrawal.

> does what it says it does

But it doesn't. What it says it does (or at least used to, maybe they've changed it) is "find the best coupons" for you in that database. Instead, they collude with merchants, and do not necessarily give you the best coupons they're aware of, or even falsely claim they do not have any coupons in their database at all.

In the original reporting there was another similar extension featured that did not use to do this, but has since started engaging in this same behavior. For all anyone knows, this could have happened to Honey as well.

There is a general process where people with money use that money to make themselves more powerful (by controlling the media, buying politicians etc) and richer (by investing that wealth and using the power they bought) in a self reinforcing cycle. The two world wars came along and reversed this process for a while, but it is back with a vengeance. I guess modern tech is only going to accelerate the process. I see it ending in one two ways:

Elysium: A tiny group of super rich live in fabulous luxury, while the rest of humanity live in economic slavery and squalor. (Like the film, 'Elysium').

The French Revolution: The bulk of humanity finally have enough of the greed of the oligarch class and do something about it.
It’s not just Trump.

Look at Biden’s deference to Russia over Ukraine and Israel over its neighbours. (Or Bush and Obama with Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya versus North Korea.) There is a nuclear sovereignty subtly expressed by decades of American Presidents. In part due to realism. But in part because triggering a nuclear war, even a limited one, is presumed punsihable heavily diplomatically and electorally.

Trump, of course, has accelerated this shift. But Le Monde Diplomatique wrote elegantly about it in ‘22 [1].

This is great.

Dedicated buttons are far easier and faster to operate.
Plus if your tablet cracks open you can still control
most features. (I think).

For a while I drove some bigger pickup trucks.
(Long ago).
They often bragged that the knobs and buttons were
big enough to be operated with gloves on.

Pretty great when it is cold out.
and really easy to operate too.

Modern cars do need a lot more buttons so making
them smaller is nessescary.
I'm far from an expert on French politics, but I decided to do some cursory investigation there because of Macron's often rather radical rhetoric. And I think it comes down to him being a sort of lame duck President. He'll be out of office in 2027 (term limits) and his approval rating is in the 20s-30s, with his party losing its majority in parliament after the 2024 elections.

So he can't do that much. The French President oddly enough does have the power to independently appoint the Prime Minister though which has led to weird things like him (the appointed Prime Minister, after the last one was kicked out by a vote of no confidence) passing things in an undemocratic fashion and then managing to survive multiple votes of confidence thanks to the support of a motley crew of right wing nationalists and left wing socialists.

His Presidency has been generally negative and so I think he's trying to lay out some legacy as framing himself as a sort of hard ass, but it's like a dark barking loudly behind a fence - in large part because there is a fence. Nothing he's proposed will ever happen (and he is well aware of this), so he can be as radical as he wants. It could also be longer term angling to try to eventually play broader role in EU politics, NATO, or whatever else - perhaps especially if the EU does eventually form a multinational military.
Just happened to me: Sonnet 3.7 was editing one file by my request. Then Cursor agent process was interrupted because file was edited ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Happened multiple times, with 3.5 version too. No external changes were issued.
Not many people think that way. Taxpayer money implies boring workaday revenue “appropriated” by the legislature. What they do with one budget has a reasonable chance to also land in the next.

The Federal strategic Bitcoin reserve is supposedly formed from FBI seizures. It might be touchable by the judicial branch (returned to a person) and there’s no guarantee how much more the FBI will add.

These are different kinds of money. People who want more of the first kind are usually elected and must face voters about the wisdom of taxation. People who want more of the second don’t set any tax rates and directly benefit when more crimes are caught, however those crimes manifest.

Since Russia started the war, how does it depend on Zelensky "to end this madness"? You'd prefer the Ukrainians roll over and get massacred and genocided?

This sentiment is ridiculous and needs to stop. Just because a person's anti-globalist policy choices happen to align with Russia doesn't mean that Russia controls that person.

Oh, so you are in agreement that genuine Russia officials, who decided to start this murderous war, are not supposed to be hurt, right? Only the "corrupt" ones?
This news brought joy back to my life. I live in Berlin and often rent these Miles car share cars. The ID3 is an absolute joy to drive, way better than the Tesla's out there. But for me, those touch buttons are an actual nuisance.
Very nice article. I agree with the theses and the resulting design makes sense.

Regarding context handling, one issue that I struggle with is where the context should be attached: by the caller or callee? In particular, in the context of intermediate libraries, I would like to limit needless work attaching the context if the caller already handles it (some sort of opt-out).

Usually I just attach the context in the callee as it's the simplest, but I'd like some systematic/reusable approach that would control this. It would be nice if it fits in the type system too. I use a bunch of languages like Rust, TypeScript, Kotlin, Python and it feels like a larger design issue.

To give a more concrete example. In Node, `fs.readSync(path)` includes the error path when it fails: the callee attaches the context to the error. In Rust, `std::fs::read(path)` does not attach the path to the error: the caller is responsible for the context. I would like some lightweight way to control if the file read should include or not the path. The ancestor scanning example from the article is a case where caller context is good IMO, but usually callee context is better for unrecoverable errors. Since it's contextual, having control would be nice.
Show me a widely used C library that does even remotely the same thing. I promise you most places where Rust would use unwrap are just straight UB in C.

I note that you provided no real world examples despite my request for them. Where's your code that is following this advice of yours?

I suspect you won’t be allowed to do archeology, because the company that bought the rights to it won’t let you. If we continue the path we’re on basically nothing will be owned by us or kept safe by us. Just look at the difference from the PC era to the smartphone era. It’s all cloud based now.

I don’t have amazon or steam so don’t know how any of that works. But for a password manager, family sharing is extremely useful.

Bitwarden doesn’t have families per se, it’s got “organisations”. You can setup unlimited number of organisations and users can get invited and join them. Which is very handy for example my wife and I can login and order our groceries from the supermarket using the same account. Or that we can both login and use our electricity company’s web portal which only allows one account per household. All without needing to send each other passwords and updated passwords back and forth.

Right. For example, something like max() or abs() have no meaningful parameter names. But for example max() does take a `key` named argument as well.

What makes you say that besides blind faith in the exponential advancement of language models?

I’ve need no evidence that AI writes particularly performant code (especially wrt to specific hardware.)

Nor have I seen any big player showing off models which were tuned for performant code generation.

Code performance work is almost always very specific to the codebase at hand and not at all general.
The primary gain of 5G is the ability to have way more devices attached to a single tower at a time. This ultimately translates to higher data caps, and why telecos were so exuberant about it (but didn't actually explain it this way). They knew people's number 1 gripe was data caps.

4G was fast too, but couldn't handle lots of concurrent connections, necessitating the need to artificially constrain demand (data caps).
It's great to see this change in direction.

I had the opportunity to drive a Tesla recently, and I was pretty blown away by how hostile the ux was. Even the indicator stalk has no tactile feedback leading to me indicating left then right multiple times after completing a simple lane change (as I pushed it slightly too far for the lane change mode so it didn't shut off automatically). Don't get me started on things like the AC and window wipers being behind the touchscreen, it's like they designed it to require a copilot.

It's driver aid features also get easily tricked leading to random steering corrections and slamming on the brakes. I'd love to know if anyone's analyzed the rate of rear end collisions compared to older/simpler cars, as I suspect it could be statistically higher.

It was also fairly amusing parking it in the garage - it seemed to mistake our dog for a motorbike and the other vehicle as a truck with the 3 of us colliding, glad it didn't try and automatically phone in the "collisions"

I do agree that the wider guarantees offered by NATO aren't now what they were, particularly for states that Trump feels shouldn't have been members in the first place. His recent comments on Poland (strong support given) followed by his subsequent comments on the Baltic states ("tough neighbourhood") show that.

My point though was on the UK/US defence relationship. This has always been a transactional arrangement, and there's benefit on both sides from it continuing.
