> If that’s true, then Darling questions why we have strong laws to protect some animals, but not others. Many people are happy to eat animals kept in awful conditions on industrial farms or to crush an insect under their foot, yet would be aghast at mistreatment of their next-door neighbour’s cat, or seeing a whale harvested for meat.

Humans and their laws don't always make sense, they're not even meant to balance this vs that, they often just a reflection of legislative priorities. I don't think that means we protect a robot with no feelings ....

To me that is just "this set of laws and non-laws seem illogical ... let's go with that and make more laws based on what I imagine the reasoning is between laws and non-laws".

The Noir support makes sense given its use in ZK proofs where execution tracing is particularly valuable, but I'm really looking forward to the Python and Ruby implementations. Those languages' dynamic nature makes bugs particularly elusive sometimes.

Has anyone here tried using this with Noir yet? I'm curious about the performance overhead of the tracing mechanism, especially for longer-running programs. Also wondering if there are plans to support JavaScript/TypeScript for web development use cases.

I think Iceberg can work in real time but the current implementations make it impossible.

Not on these, since the decoder is hardwired for x86-shaped instructions (prefixes, etc). Some instructions are also hardwired to produce certain uops.

I think I've commented this elsewhere, but using Cue [1] is also great for this purpose, with no extra infrastructure. E.g. you define a Cue Template [2], which seems analogous to Yoke/ATC's CRDs, and then your definitions just include the data.

Here's an example of Vaultwarden running on my K8s cluster:

deployment: bitwarden: {
spec: {
template: {
spec: {
containers: [{
image: "vaultwarden/server:1.32.7"
env: [{
name: "ROCKET_PORT"
value: "8080"
}, {
name: "ADMIN_TOKEN"
valueFrom: secretKeyRef: {
name: "bitwarden-secrets"
key: "ADMIN_TOKEN"
}
}]
volumeMounts: [{
name: "data"
mountPath: "/data"
subPath: "bitwarden"
}]
ports: [{
containerPort: 8080
name: "web"
}]
}]
volumes: [{
name: "data"
persistentVolumeClaim: claimName: "local-pvc"
}]
}
}
}
}

And simpler services are, well, even simpler:

deployment: myapp: spec: template: spec: containers: [{
ports: [{
containerPort: 8080
name: "web"
}]
}]

And with Cue, you get strongly typed values for everything, and can add tighter constraints as well. This expands to the relevant YAML resources (Services, Deployments, etc), which then get applied to the cluster. The nice thing of this approach is that the cluster doesn't need to know anything about how you manage your resources.

So you've never encountered a stale python project that used to work and had difficulties getting it up and running again?

Do you actually try new Python projects out with git-clone, or do you just use the same 3 Python projects for years at a time (all regularly)?

That might explain the difference in experiences
the reason I didn't attend / pay this time btw was because last time the talks were more about the "user-end of databases" and I mostly work in product and design; this time it was about more low-level stuff which is out of my scope. It's still cool stuff! But just outside of my focus / realm
My god, that’s literally just thinking aloud, doing the rubber duck thing.

You are not “emulating R1”, you are talking to yourself to make sure you understand the concept.

Which is fine but don’t act like AI is making this part of life better in any way with this example.
Nonsense
Without more in depth knowledge here my guess would be yes, if you can fit an Emulator for armv8 into the size available for microcode. The instruction the cpu runs vs those that are emulated via microcode are already pretty extensive, running essentially an ARM Emulator on Top of it should in theory not make too much of a difference since you are essentially running an x86 Emulator on whatever the ryzen instruction set really is.

You're absolutely right. I realize my comment could be understood in many various ways.

My point was that, at some point, money has a negative effect on your career. Shooting for the top percentile of revenue can take you off track for life.

But you are saying that having a few hundred thousands bucks when you hit 40-50 is a life-changer and you are absolutely right as well.

Our point of views are not incompatible and were not captured by my first comment.

But elsewhere it works fine: https://carnewschina.com/2024/01/03/the-updated-saic-vw-id-3... The prices are nothing comparable to European ones.

There is no such presumption. I can assure you supply and demand works the same way, even when behaving randomly.

Perhaps you mean that people don't behave in a way you deem "rational" and that therefore the outcomes are different from what you expect.

That is an issue with your model of reality not being accurate, not with the concept of supply and demand.
> (Is it the year of Desktop Linux yet?)

I know this is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek comment but I would argue that the year of the Linux desktop was in 2022 when the Steam deck, albeit a non-desktop machine, was released. It's a pretty popular console and really forwarded the idea of playing video games on Linux being seamless. The state of gaming on Linux is/was one of the main reason why so many people are/were holding out on Windows, and with a few exceptions of massive games like Fortnite, it's basically here. Adoption, however, is a different story.
> I have the legal right to record a conversation I play a significant role in, so I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to do the same over messaging apps.

It depends on where you are. In the US plenty of states require consent from all parties to a conversation to record it. The only function of this rule is to allow people to lie about what the conversation was about, as there is no law that prevents a party to the conversation writing it down and sharing it to the public.

And that's exactly what I think about disappearing messages. The only function of this is to be able to lie about the message. I'm not interested in having a system where someone can set their message retention to 5 minutes and then send a bunch of abusive messages to me. Or some sort of phishing message. If they choose to add this to iMessage they should also include an option that automatically rejects all disappearing messages and reply to the sender indicating that their message was rejected. Or optionally, if I could set my phone to ignore the expiration time and retain the message forever. It's my phone and I'm paying for the phone service. It's up to me how my device is used, not some third party. If they don't like my terms, they should choose not to involve me.

Not everything needs to be the equivalent of a midnight whisper in a dark alley.
From Wikipedia:

> As of December 31, 2020, the platform [DoorDash] was used by 450,000 merchants, 20,000,000 consumers, and over one million delivery couriers ("Dashers")

Do you have examples of bread makers or ship crews where a handful of people directed a million workers, directly without intermediaries that could make their own decisions?

> Lets now consider your idea that scale makes things evil: Would any level of scale of production or service beyond your nearest friends and family implicitly become evil?

The flaw is in your reasoning. Just because some level of scaling is good, does not mean that any level of scaling is good. You're ignoring that quantitative differences create qualitative differences.
Cool. To paraphrase an old XKCD (https://xkcd.com/927/), now there are 16 standards!
To be slightly more specific, Chinese authorities consider PM2.5 levels of ≤70 mcg/m³ as safe, while by EU standards that same pollution level is considered "extreme".

The WHO yearly recommended limit is 5 mcg/m³, by the way.
I hate these types of headlines that omit an important part of the context: The study was conducted in mice. We're not mice.

The results are encouraging but in no way conclusive for humans. They open for the opportunity for broader studies, studies in humans. That's all they do.
I read "open dataset" as "training data URLs are in a CSV somewhere," but I see how you could've read it differently.
(Leaflet cofounder here) - much appreciated; we spent a lot of time iterating building different versions of apps before Leaflet that were more explicitly around shared social spaces and communities for learning and collaborative projects, which informed some of our aims in making Leaflets both simple docs and shared spaces (lots we can improve there e.g. bringing in live presence features!)

For the RSVP block, yes we're using Twilio - right now it automatically uses SMS for US/Canada numbers and WhatsApp for int'l, bit more cost effective…I think it wasn't a huge lift technically, though took longer than expected mainly b/c we had to wait a while / re-submit some documentation etc. for approval.

They are the highest value targets who coordinate the group's activities. Most will have done something at some point that could land them in prison for a long time; this is how they are typically turned. The ones that haven't done anything the feds can feasibly threaten them with often get bribed, which is where things can get really messy because you end up with policing organizations essentially permitting organized crime under a series of conditions (e.g. keep things quiet and we won't bother you). There are many documented instances of this happening on the street level, and some evidence to suggest it is occurring at the national level and the international level. It can be counter-intuitive to think of these organizations being so easily compromised, but a good rule of thumb is that no organization dedicated to criminal or subversive activity is going to evade the attention of the feds, and once that attention is there, they will almost never be able to outspend them. It's comparable to a small business trying to harden their systems against a state actor.
> Hell of a lot more difficult now when I need to work and don't really have the same amount of time to dedicate to studying.

Not really. You'll find that as an experienced programmer, you have a massive advantage at times in your classes.
Several of the authors are at Tulane University in New Orleans. So, I can see why this is important to them.
I don't see the point. Why should it be European (or American, Japanese, Chinese or whatever)? Shouldn't it be better value/quality? Not everything is better just because it's European. I believe that if someone is doing something great (incl. privacy policy, support, etc.) it shouldn't matter if it's European or from somewhere else.

I live in the EU and I often see this cult of people deliberately buying worse things just because it's European. Yet there are many areas where a European alternative is worse than the imported one. I'd say support quality and innovation, not nationality.
I still use IRC, irssi in particular. My go-to for searching local logs is `less` rather than grep. I have the date on every line in the log file. I can jump to a specific date easily, then search a different term up/down from that spot, and I see context of surrounding lines easily. No regex needed.
One of the things is wanting to be part of the discourse. For instance, this has happened to me several times - big players are talking about a particular topic. I dig through the primary sources, and see that many of the assumptions people are making about it are wrong. I try to bring it up, but - where? Blog/Tweet about it, and with no audience you're yelling into the void. Sometimes I try contacting the big players, but like I said, it's a pretty cliquish environment, and if you're a nobody you get ignored. Another option is to spit out a lot of garbage dopamine hits to build up a big enough audience to the point where someone might pay attention to your good points.

In the end I just gave up, because I realized the state of discourse in these spaces is terrible. It's a shame, though, because there are a lot of small, overlooked voices that do similar things, diving through primary source material and data and uncovering very important stuff that's gotten ignored. Occasionally, I've seen these people break stories that eventually get the attention of the national media - but it's hard, and this usually only happens for the really huge stories.

Meanwhile, the big players in these spaces are usually intellectually incurious and busy churning out vapid engagement bait.
If Revolt is a Discord alternative, then they may have chosen not to implement E2E because their intended audience generally doesn't care for it and the UX is too confusing for a marginal perceived benefit

It's time for our geriatric political class to be retired.
There have been a small number of cases where wolves attack humans, but the majority of attacks that do occur generally prey on cattle or sheep. With fencing and guard dogs, an equilibrium can be reached. Maybe have you kids wander with a protective dog. I don't want to see us continually destroy and suppress biodiversity because it's inconvenient for us.
Some people use bits of time on their phone to ironically help them focus on the person they're talking to.

If I have to listen to someone with zero of what people would call "external distractions" I'm barely going to remember any of it. But if I can poke on my phone while I'm listening, maybe look up some information relevant to the topic, then I'm much more engaged and retain far more of what's being said.

There's a difference between "eyes glued to phone" and "eyes looking at phone occasionally and then returning to the room". Too often, people see the latter, and it's like looking at a second hand on a clock. They take the initial glance, it looks longer than it really is, and so "eyes glued to phone" is their takeaway.

> I had a manager once who, if she would spot someone on their phone in a meeting, would put them on the spot and ask them a question relevant to what the team was just discussing. Some people would call that a "dick move" but I'm actually supportive of it. If you're supposed to be paying attention, get off your phone.

That manager would be flabbergasted when I answer the question. Unfortunately her takeaway would probably be "he could answer that while still not paying full attention? how can I make him pay full attention!" despite the fact that what she would call "full attention" would make my brain more likely to drift.

Unless you live near a track or some really technical mountain roads a Plaid makes cars like this obsolete.
I (unfortunately) find myself doing this far too much after work, and am worried about what retirement might accidentally look like.
To be honest, that area is very hilly and rough. Even without wolf packs loitering around I wouldn't recommend young kids wandering by themselves outside of the fenced areas.
No need to worry, politicians will make it illegal to monitor politicians in this way. Only workers will ever need to deal with always-on surveillance like this.
I have this weird and flawed theory that "Democrats breed Republicans and Republicans breed Democrats". The essence of the theory is that Republican policies like privatizing the post office, tend to anger or disenfranchise rural folks who may end up moving to the city and then becoming or have kids that become Democrats, and Democrat policies do the reverse, maybe because Democrat policies can be defined as fundamentally conservative (preserving existing institutions) it drives liberal minded people to vote Republican on economic issues.

Part of this is because I think in a sense if you think about forward looking vs reverse looking or expansionary vs staying the same, Democrats are socially liberal and economically conservative and Republicans are socially conservative and economically liberal (traditionally / late 20th century) this sort of cross keeps a sort of tension.

Anyways, it is interesting to me that Republicans seem to embrace policies that can also be described as shooting themselves in the foot.
I'm a private tutor who works with adults on proof-based math. I've often had a similar thought to the one you're expressing here --- I also found proofs pretty revelatory when I first exposed to them and wondered where this magical tool had been all my life --- but I wonder how well this experience would scale to the mass of students in high school math classes.

After teaching proof-writing to my students for several years now, I've seen a lot of variation in how quickly students take to the skill. Some of them have the same experience that it sounds like you and I had, where it "clicks" right away, some of them struggle for a while to figure out what the whole enterprise is even about, and everything in between. Basically everyone gets better at it over time, but for some that can mean spending a decent amount of time feeling kind of lost and frustrated.

And this is a very self-selected group of students: they're all grown-ups who decided to spend their money and spare time learning this stuff in addition to their jobs! For the kind of high school student who just doesn't really think of themselves as a "math person", who isn't already intrinsically motivated by the joy of discovering what makes integrals tick, I think it would be an even harder sell. High school math teachers have a hard job: they have to try to reach students at a pretty wide range of interest and ability levels, and sadly that often leads to a sort of lowest-common-denominator curriculum that doesn't involve a lot of risk-taking.

I see your point, but many times people use their phone to look up data. It's where I keep many documents.

Would you be happier if they were reading some piece of paper in front of them? That looks very official and serious, but their brain could be drifting away to anywhere else.
"Start printing money"? Trump 1 printed lots of money, Biden printed lots of money. (Don't recall specifically, but Obama probably did too.)

Is there any sense in which Trump has "started" printing money since January?
(Leaflet cofounder here) - thanks, and good idea! Yeah right now canvases are quite minimal, lots we can improve both with basics like selection/drag, and more types of canvas-specific blocks. We'd love to get some kind of freeform sketch block at some point too, though more complex, a few more frequently requested things we want to get to first, like simple tables and font options!
Haha, that’s a good point. I think the main change from using these (reasoning) models is that I’m more cognizant of my thinking process, rather than there being a novel technique.

Well, politicians do vote and make laws.

if the majority of them are for privacy, there is absolutely no reason for them to vote against it each time they are asked to.

Usually a law is passed when the majority of politicians vote for it...

I like Affinity Photo a lot, and it's what I use, but Photoshop is definitely the more powerful program. Affinity still doesn't even have an auto-select.
I'm very much onboard with the 'hey, code is useful' idea. Code is most useful when you want to build abstractions around infrastructure.

You can do declarative code most of the time but bust out function calls and control flow and even more heavy weight abstractions when needed. And you get all that nice typechecking that speeds things up.

This is basically why I joined Pulumi and why I joined Earthly before that. ( CI needs to move beyond YAML as well).

Where I disagree is that Pulumi ( or CDK or CDKTF) running the language runtime of the language you've decided to use is a problem.
It seems more descriptive than prescriptive. I am sure it is true, but it seems hardly useful.

It's like saying "we finally found the success sequence for breaking into upper middle class in three easy steps: 1) get a high paying job, 2) get raises every year matching or exceeding inflation , 3) avoid layoffs". Or the good old-fashioned advice for becoming rich: "buy low, sell high".

These are all 100% true, but also 100% useless.
