The whole point was to know WHAT these actions were in response to. Was it threatening individuals? Groups? Was it lying about government actions? Was it dick picks?

WHAT is happening here? We don't know. And the government is not saying, beyond publishing how much they're doing.

And the law is not much help: they're punished for "causing offence", not even specified to whom (mayors seem to be overrepresented, although there seem to also be majors on the receiving end)

If you make a device which uses GPL’d code, and provide all the covered source code you used, but prevent users from putting any modified code on the device, you are in violation of GPLv3, but not GPLv2. That means this sentence:

> I could ship a GPLv3 system tomorrow that disallows user root access and as long as I make the OS source freely available and redistributable, it's fine.

Is not true for gpl3. It’s called the “tivo-ization” loophole, and it’s one of the principal reasons the GPL3 was made in the first place. I think you’re just wrong.

(Note: I’m not claiming Apple is would be in violation for shipping e.g. a GPLv3 bash on macOS, today, only that they would be in violation for doing that on iOS today, or if in the future they locked down macOS in the same way that iOS was, then for macOS too.)
I don't want to track them, I want to mirror them.

Can you back up your 'very small number " with some data? I don't think it lines up with my own experience here. It's really not an either or matter. Good security requires a multifaceted approach. Memory safety is definitely a worthwhile investment.

>People like the OP and us are mocked for moves to block billboards in space as being “alarmist” or out of touch, yet driving along any highway in the USA will bombard you with ads on billboards, on busses, on rideshares, on overly-large signs with glowing placards, in radio and television, on streaming providers who raise our rates on what used to be ad-free packages.

I lost a lot of faith in the decency of others a month ago when I heard a song on my car radio, looked at the display to see the artist and title info that comes from the radio station, and was met with "Bounty the quicker picker upper."

You can probably do this fairly easily already, like this:

- Fetch your emails using any of the common local mail sync tools

- Some processing to clean up the plaintext version, may not be necessary even

- Send it to an LLM to extract a link

- Open up a headless browser, trigger something like SingleFile to extract its content.

Though you'll have to keep the cookie refreshed, but if it is initially logged in, this should be fine since you can also program something to keep refreshing every once in a while.
There is absolutely a difference. Multiple differences in fact. But the difference isn't "one is an ad, and the other isn't".
Good question. Here is the 2023 revision that added it: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gumroad&diff=prev... No notes about sources or meaning. It survived an edit war last August.
"It’s worth noting that value-added taxes are a form of tariffs because they exempt exported goods but tax imported goods, and central banks usually do not respond to them, because legislated price changes are typically thought not to be indicative of underlying supply-demand imbalances."

Can someone expand on whether there is any truth to this at all? (See also a lengthy discussion thread here [1] on the same topic, where I could not get a satisfying answer)

My naive, yet practical, view is that all LLMs produce output that reflects what was most commonly found on the internet. So if your area of interest has a lot of slop, then that is exactly what Deep Research will return.

So if you want to do "real deep research" into some topic, then you start with the various summaries and drill down. I use Google Scholar to locate papers, then I search for the cited papers. It is tedious, but the only way that I know which avoids the pitfalls of random regurgitation of easily found materials.

Currently AGI is marketing hype. Critical thinking with real understanding, i.e. knowledge building hasn't yet been automated. You need to put in the intellectual effort.
But surely you experienced the fact that being paid a salary is a matter of contract, while being evaluated (formally and informally) for productivity is not independent of time. The company may find it valuable on the net to waste your time with distractions and bad process, but your manager may not know it and think you're just lazy.
Or we’re talking about the US, so what the US considers ‘left’ vs ‘right’ politically matters, not what some other arbitrary (generally european) criteria is. Or have you checked in with Africa and China too?

If you think I wrote anything like that, you have a serious lack of reading comprehension.

Oh gee, thanks for informing me that my "real" position is that I shouldn't survive.
There’s no such thing as „other vehicles driven on autopilot”. There’s cruise control, adaptive cruise control, and limited rollouts of level 3 autonomous driving locked to certain regions. You know why? Because everyone else except of Musk knows the tech is NOT ready. It doesn’t matter how many miles driven. What matters is Teslas don’t have radars and every other brand has.

I'll draw the reader's attention to the last few paragraphs:

Liu's lab has made much of its work freely accessible, sharing DNA blueprints through a nonprofit library used by tens of thousands of labs worldwide.

"The science we create—which is ultimately funded by society, through governments and donors—ultimately goes back to benefit society."

This year's Breakthrough Prize awards come at a fraught moment for U.S. science, as President Donald Trump's government strips funding for institutions like the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

"The NIH is a treasure, not just for this country but for the world," said Liu. "Trying to dismantle the heart of what supports science in this country is like burning your seed corn."

Job security. The software industry was built on the premise that users would buy all new software and hardware every 3 years. In the mid 2000s they collectively realised that software was ‘good enough’ for most users, and that it doesn’t wear out.

SaaS, the subscription model, “the cloud”, they’re all about making the user pay more than once for the same software.
A good friend of mine bought an apartment in Hayes Valley 6 or 7 years back. They’ve had their doorbell stolen, trash left in the street, and just yesterday had to call 311 because a man was in their street yelling and they couldn’t leave.

Yesterday here in Sydney it was a nice autumn day - I walked down the hill from home and took a nap on the sand of Bondi Beach with my phone and my stuff in a bag next to me. Was napping a good hour in the sun, never thought twice about my phone. Got home and my car had not been broken into. In fact I don’t know anyone in Australia who has ever had their car broken into. Not one.

I lived in SF 2013-2019. Mid-Market & Tenderloin is hard to explain but makes sense once you live there. SF has pockets that are stunning, but nowhere offers the quality of life I found by moving away. Sad to be further from the epicenter of tech, but your day to day happiness and stress levels have to take priority.

To the latest mayor promising to do better: we see you, we know you are doing your best. Thankyou for caring - unpicking this knot of social problems is going to take a long time of consistently caring.
I have certainly experienced management that took many actions which reduced productivity.

I think the biggest blind spot is management's negative emotional externalities which cost far more than anything else. Many of us got into this because we love it, let's us sincerely do our job well, please!
But if little Becky got killed by a non-autonomous car, there's a lot of shrugs, because cars are awesome.

My point being that FSD cars are even more awesome and society will realize that once they are more numerous. They'll be safer and cheaper, and some collateral damage will be accepted just like it is today.
lol. You must be a hoot at parties.
I think that one is a bit wrong, I must have written it many years ago. There are machines where pointers do have different address spaces, like the Arduino obviously, but that support isn't in the language yet, and maybe there might be issues there but comparing something like `int` and `float` pointers, that shouldn't be UB. I'll look at that text.

Debug traps can be kept in optimized builds, you can always do something like "-O3 --safe=yes". Right now it's not possible to set it per function or module, but that might be added if there is demand for it.

Because C3 also has contracts, the plan is to step by step increase static analysis to catch more of the contract violations at compile time.

For example:

<*
@require a > 10
@require b < a
*>
fn void test(int a, int b) {}

Will error at compile time for `test(5, 2)` (first @require), or `test(5, 10)` (second @require). These will also be checked at runtime, but catching low hanging fruits a compile time will be very helpful I think.

LLVM address and thread sanitizers work. The memory sanitizer still has some issues but will be fixed.

Currently there are just cross platform threads available and some rudimentary thread pools. This needs to be expanded and we'll see if there are things the language could help with but there will not be any async built in.
> Despite the dollar’s role in weighing heavily on the U.S. manufacturing sector, President Trump has emphasized the value he places on its status as the global reserve currency, and threatened to punish countries that move away from the dollar.

Maybe the US should accept that it can't (or shouldn't) be allowed to have the cake an eat it too, and simply take steps to stop the USD from being the global currency reserve then? Surely there are some measures that can be made? (Or at least not actively work against it happening: "threatened to punish countries that move away from the dollar")
I don't disagree with you, but it's the political reality of the situation being foisted upon us with violence by the far right. That was one of the reasons why I left Texas ASAP in late 2022 when I saw the winds changing.

It's going to make it more difficult for them which in aggregate will prevent them from obtaining all the data they want without spending more resources to get it.

It's also going to put more money into the pockets of non American alternatives which will in turn give them more resources to spend on making more secure offerings.

Every little bit counts.
You can easily read about your example VW MEB platform battery configurations, including built in thermal management system, online at the Munro teardown, for example.

Perhaps you are changing the topic from your original thermal management to heat pump systems specifically?
The IRS cuts are the most obvious ones, since they will clearly end up losing the government far more money than they save. But it would be an interesting, if challenging, project to try to do the same kind of thing with other government agencies. And unlike the IRS, most federal agencies don't generate revenue directly for the government but likely have indirect economic benefits.

National parks generate tourism dollars, funding for science research leads to new advances with economic impact, etc. The "savings" from the cuts assumes the money is being set on fire with no economic benefits, but even if you disregard the obvious direct impacts like federal employees or recipients of federal dollars buying stuff just like everyone else, the impact of the service being provided is almost certainly non-trivial if admittedly harder to measure. Any reasonable approach to efficiency and cost cutting needs to take that into account.
Those are different goal posts. There are other ways of heating a battery.
Sure, though there's little point in replacing executables such as rsync when you can install your own version (perhaps through a package manager and package repository / database such as Homebrew [1] or MacPorts [2]) and use the PATH environment variable to decide which version of the executable you'd like to use in which context.

They could simply put the chairs you like into their cars though, there's nothing stopping them from doing that. They just choose not to, much like they choose to put ads in the windows and on the door - for economical reasons.
They're not const because of backwards compatibility. Const correctness in C is a lot weaker than the way C++ enforces it, letting you implicitly cast it away in a lot of cases.
I'll save everyone hours of headache. The only politician's disclosures that are worth anything are Pelosi's. And by Pelosi, it is actually her husband that trades but that she has to disclose those trades as a politician. You can also copy Pelosi's trades exactly if you are into speculation and you can experience first hand how many of his trades end up -30% or more, but over the course of the year they have a chance of gaining. They gain not so much because there is any meaningful insider information, but because he holds the position for 1 year and we are still in a bull market (even as of tonight).

I think it's amusing that folks think that politicians have any sort of capability to be able to consistently beat the S&P 500.

The BMW i3 had inductive heating strips underneath the coolant channels in the battery pack[1]. I know our i3 had a heat pump, I presume both were in play.

In high-stakes calculations, there's a thing called a "sanity check" which is a quick & simple analog of a complex calculation that is done perhaps repeatedly using different approaches, often manually with traditionally simple tools such as slide rules and napkins.

In addition to the full accepted calculation procedure, as a final double-check if nothing else.

Just to make sure things are not coming out in some outlying ball-park which would be bound to indicate an error in the main approach somewhere, since more complex equations having greater number of variables or conversions simply have that many more chances for a mistake to be made.

And a completely independent recalculation which is simple, quick, and more understandable by all, which comes up in decent agreement, is a very good sign that the main calculation has been carried out correctly.

But most importantly if there is excessive disagreement, that really calls for stopping and checking every single figure backwards & forwards until discrepancies can be pinpointed and corrected.

Of course somebody involved needs to not only show an interest in this kind of reliability, but also be able to do something about it in case a sanity check like this turns up a shortage to begin with :\
They work down to -10. And colder than that too. Apologies to Mitch Hedberg.
You need a forge too. If you're a traditionalist that means coal, which produces black smoke, which your neighbors also won't like.

Or you use a gas-powered forge which is smaller and produces no smoke. But gas-powered forges don't get as hot so you can't forge-weld with them. No big deal IMHO. That's what TIG is for.
They should know better than to guess. Educated, honest, intelligent people don't spout off a wild ass guess, if they don't know something they say so.
> But someone earning $10m a year while their workers are on food stamps is unacceptable

So you get the main company with salaries from $1m-10m, they subcontract their operations to a company with salaries of $100k-1m which manage the cleaning contracts, and the people doing the work are just gig workers on less than $10 an hour.

But the main company doesn't have the CEO:worker imbalance
A lot of Americans like to help (clearly we do since we funded it for so many years). But, a lot of Americans also believe it's not the government's job to do those things. It's not necessarily 'cowardice / avarice' - just principles. But, if someone set up the NGO and opened it to donations, I'm sure a lot of Americans would support it.
Locally running, like, llama.cpp? Or Python?

For questions like this, you need to tell the bot to search the web.

> Hi, can you search the web and find out if Paul Newman has any alcohol problems?

> Paul Newman, the acclaimed actor and philanthropist, had a well-documented fondness for alcohol, particularly beer. He was known to consume significant quantities, with some accounts noting he would drink a case of beer in a day. This level of consumption led some to describe him as a functioning alcoholic. His drinking habits reportedly caused strain in his marriage to Joanne Woodward. In the late 1970s, an incident occurred where Woodward did not allow Newman back into their house because of his drinking. He promised to give up hard liquor as a compromise, but continued to drink beer, sometimes consuming a case during dinner.
Because the US has taught its military and other branches to respect the balance and rules from the constitution and precedents. Trump, like facists before him, exploit these rule followers to gain power through populous appeals, lies, and subterfuge. Then they push the boundaries to further consolidate power and accomplish their goals, however poorly thought out they may be. Take for example Trump's talk of a third term. He's already tried to start a coup when voted out the first time. He certainly won't stop if there is any chance he'll face real accountability.
