This is wonderful. It’s also true! Even when I was running a very small business and not particularly bothered by what people were doing that could be argued as resembling trademark infringement, I was urged to be vigilant about it because if you don’t defend your trademark, you risk losing it. That’s how the law works!

If that really is the reason you’re threatening action against someone, they may just understand if you’re nice about it!

That said, while it may foster more goodwill towards your company, it probably isn’t as surefire a way to generate the swift response you want as being a dick and making the threats

This to me reads as an argument that no protections are better than protections applied inconsistently. Maybe on a message board, but if I was a defendant, it seems like the decision between the two would be easy to make.
When LLMs code in order to reason, isn’t that a combination of probabilistic reasoning and symbolic reasoning?
This theory has held up poorly to other theories, such as the federal legalization of abortion. Positing a single cause, even a single dominating cause, is an incredibly, incredibly hard claim to demonstrate. I do believe that unleading gasoline had widespread social impacts, but this narrative is just lazy reduction with no benefit.

Personally, I think the easiest theory is simply economic prosperity. Most American problems these days can be described in terms of relationship to wealth. changes in education take decades to reflect in aggregate effectiveness. If nothing changes, I think we'll be facing a similarly-violent time period for likely the rest of our lives, even if we aren't there yet.

It looks like the conclusion on that page supports my claim.

> Conclusions

The notion, at least, behind the expression "there is honor among thieves" is ancient, and it is expressed (inexactly) by English writers as far back as Daniel Defoe in 1723. A pamphlet published in 1782 describes "there is honour among thieves" as an "adage," so the familiar wording must be considerably older than that date.

The counter-proverb, "there is no honour among thieves" is somewhat younger—at least in Google Books search results, with an exact occurrence in 1828 after earlier instances in which writers denied the assertion that honor did exist among thieves.
Hashing + custom server merge is the main logical device, the rest is just encoding tricks to make everything fast.

Push becomes like git push to a tmp branch, then you do a server-side merge, then a pull on remaining clients. Push/pull is fast just like git, and due to content hashing, there are never any problems overwriting another device's work on the server.

I think I had some clever tricks with text syncing (IIRC I implemented a Merkle tree-inspired approach), but that's the general concept.

(I don't remember anything else, it was so long ago. :-)

I like bandit, but for a role model he spoils his children a bit too much I think. He allmost always does what the kid wants and not what he actually wanted to do. Well, he is also good at integrating it, like when he is doing exercises with the kids instead of weights.

But sometimes he is literally fleeing the kids, to not have to play with them, instead of saying no.

(But from the avaiable alternatives, he is indeed the best role model that comes to mind)

The Canadian govt has decided our economy needs to specialize in very cheap software consulting that is primarily outsourced from the USA, so we're bringing in hundreds of thousands of people a year to graduate from "IT" programs at a rate that leaves them with no marketable skills. This saturates the labour force with low-productivity programmers.

it is both harder and very different.

Given that there are plenty of people on the spectrum working in IT a promotion can be a devastating blow to some.

The thing you've mentioned about poor performance resonates a lot with an unfinished text I have about generation lost to covid.

For me shaping a new team is all about forming bonds between teammates. Living in eastern europe it usually involves a lot of drinking together. :)

The end result is that you have a team that cares about each other, and if someone has a bad day for whatever reason (sick cat, kid misbehaving at school, hangover or divorce) the rest of the team will be happy to fill out and carry on as a unit. If something bad will happen the team will indicate the bad apple and you'll know when to step in.

Even though my first daily job in 2006 was an online first company I was very sceptical when covid started. It takes a lot of thought and preperation to have your org ready for an online work, and setting up zoom calls is simply not enough. I took hiatus as I felt I was not able to form a functional team based on skype calls. I missed some money but I think the history somehow proved me right.
The article could be wrong as bucketing by %tile excludes the un-served. It could be that the 16 modem can serve ppl that are otherwise out of range for 16e, just at super low speeds.

If a lot of 16 users are in places the 16e doesn't go, that skews the 16's bottom 10%tile's mbps lower, but also means more users are served and therefore it has a better modem.

Given this data is from Ookla's Speedtest, I wonder if a lot of people in super super low reception areas wind up running Speedtest to see why their connection is slow, and are thus overrepresented in the data. If that were the case, the conclusion is even more statistically off.
Because things need to keep evolving, we see great new ideas coming from tools which add progress bar, make colorful output, have knowledge about .git structure etc. Current state of things is quite stalled, in my opinion.

In Python you're describing a Protocol. It's actually super reasonable to have a ObjectWithFirstNameAndLastName noun like this. You don't ever need to construct one but you can use it in the type slot and objects you pass in will be checked to conform. You see all kinds of weird specific types floating around the standard lib like this for type hinting.

Duck typing is great, what's even better is documenting when when they need to quack or waddle.
> Unless you are experienced in rust, you have zero ability to catch the kind of mistakes LLMs make producing rust code.

I'd say it's on par with other languages then... LLM are roughly 95% correct on code generation but that's not nearly enough for using them.

And spending time finding which 5% is looking good but actually wrong is a frustrating experience.

Those programs are making different kind of mistakes than humans and I find them much harder to spot.
Relatedly, don’t be afraid of (database) tables.

Gawker was a far more valuable institution than both of the above. I'm not sure how you could claim otherwise: both papers just regurgitate ap headlines with misanthropic assholes managing the editing. Gawker at least managed to break news and contribute to discourse beyond the ivy-league toadies that contribute nothing substantial beyond dogmatic reverwnce for broken institutions that were wildly out of date a hundred years ago.

Centrist idiots blathering about institutional integrity and decorum destroyed this country. I refuse to let them gain power again. I far prefer gossip rags to imperial stooges: at least they're honest about their dishonesty. They also never stooped to the level of the new york times endorsing an obviously illegal invasion.

Granted, both are equally willing to cater towards the american demand for blood rather than justice. But at least I can blame the poeple actually at the capitol for january sixth. Who the hell can I blame for the mass-complacency and dogmatism of college-educated liberals aside from the very same ignorant mass? Until a better scapegoat arrives, the editorial boards of ivy-league-catering newspapers will have to do.

Why do people not read manufacturing consent? It's the only text american adults should be reading. Everything else doesn't matter.
I hove some Monster cables around, and I bought them knowing that their claims are bogus, but the things are built like a tank.

None of them have broken or developed faulty connections over the years, and that's worth it the price difference in my opinion. In my case, for a couple of them, the price difference was nil, because the store was selling them at a 50% discount to just get them out of their premises.
> Every darn little thing in Java needs a name.

Don't all types need names, regardless of what language you use?

Look at typescript, and how it supports structural typing. They don't seem to have a problem with names. Why do you think Java has that problem when nominal type systems simplify the problem?

> There's no need to declare a type ObjectWithFirstNameAndLastName. It would be quite silly.

Naming things is hard, but don't criticize typing for a problem caused by your lack of imagination. A basic fallback strategy to name specialized types is to add adjectives. Instead of ObjectWithFirstNameAndLastName you could have NamedObject. You don't need to overthink it, with namespaces and local contexts making sure conflicts don't happen.

There are two mindsets: try to work around problems to reach your goals, and try to come up with any problem to find excuses to not reach your goals. Complaining about naming sounds a lot like the second.

I get regular emails intended for my doppelgänger, and have for many, many years. I know her entire family by proxy—we’ve effectively moved through the same stages of life together, in parallel, across the globe. For a while I used to respond to the more important-seeming messages, but it’s more mailing lists now. She and I are very far away physically—and it’s hard to say whether she knows about me at all, as I don’t mess up the email address in our collective name…

Oddly enough I’m still not sure of her correct address, only those of her correspondents. And in some cases family members.
Can you elaborate? What duality, and how?
Yes. Also received invoices, past due notices and more.

A couple of times I contacted the companies to let them know their notices did not reach the right person. No reply or acknowledgement.

Both sides are bad. Not my problem. My problem is people using my email and creating trash in my inbox.

Yes but not ultra cheap. What we need is ultra cheap cars to make it possible so many people to enter the EV market. Currently only middle class or above can afford an EV. We also need to have our power grid supplied with clean energy to power these cars but both things need to happen. So if we could get one to happen that would be a very good start. But we also have to protect the American car industry and can't allow China to flood the market with actual ultra cheap sub $10k cars.

True. I'm guessing it's the same reason that lexing and parsing are the focus of many langdev guides, despite being amongst the smallest/simplest parts of the compiler. I guess it makes sense, since those topics are the entry point into the field and at some point your learning is mostly self-directed.

I heard most code today is written by LLMs. I hope that's not true, but if it is, the future improvements will be slow (barring something like, actually teaching them to read the docs).
> I've encountered the same phenomenon, and I too cannot explain why it happens.

I think that some languages lead developers to think of types as architecture components. The cognitive cost and actual development work required to add a type to a project is not the one-liner that we see in TypeScript. As soon as you create a new class, you have a new component that is untested and unproven to work, which then requires developers to add test coverages, which then requires them to add the necessary behavior, etc.

Before you know it, even though you started out by creating a class, you end up with 3 or 4 new files in your project and a PR that spans a dozen source files.

Alternatively, you could instead pass an existing type, or even a primitive type?

> But even in Typescript codebases I see reluctance to declare new types.

Of course. Adding types is not free of cost. You're adding cognitive load to be able to understand what that symbol means and how it can and should be used, not to mention support infrastructure like all the type guards you need to have in place to nudge the compiler to help you write things the right way. Think about it for a second: one of the main uses of types is to prevent developers from misusing specific objects if they don't meet specific requirements. Once you define a type, you need to support the happy flows and also the other flows as well. The bulk of the complexity often lies in the non-happy flows.
I'm sure some of them do but encryption is pretty unusual as a lock that police can't break. If a judge orders a search of your house and the incriminating evidence is in a safe they will break it open if you refuse to open it for them. Governments aren't exactly happy that for digital assets there's ready made mass-market systems where the response to any search warrant will be to pound sand.

When law enforcement tells you that they're being hindered by the fact that even unsophisticated criminals have E2EE messaging and that's their biggest source of evidence (pulling text records) then asking for back doors starts to sound reasonable. It isn't of course because it defeats the whole point but it doesn't have to be a crusade against speech or whatever.

Do you think app permissions in Android and iOS apps are not helpful? There isn't really a reason that the permission models make sense on mobile but not desktop. Desktop applications are inherently more trustworthy. The fact the security features gets in your way is more of a product finesse problem which generally plagues open source projects in general. The technology is not conceptually flawed.
Speaking for myself, that's exactly what makes it relatable. My kid consumes all my time if I let him. And, I often have to remind myself, this age is special and very short - my hobbies and 'rest' will be available again soon. I think the hard job of being a mom is well understood, documented, portrayed in media, etc. But, as a dad, I'm expected (by my kid) to be a tireless playmate matching his energy levels, playing his games, being imaginative and creative in my play, etc. and I don't think that type of parenting is well portrayed in media. My wife and I have spoken about it several time as we've fallen into pretty traditional gender roles and she's "cool with cooking and cleaning every evening, because [she] can't play the way [I] do" and it's equally exhausting after a long day of work/life/adulting.
