> That's just an honorary title

It's true that it's an honorific, but I think it has a little more teeth than you think. At the institutions I've worked at, it comes with a few perks (like faculty-level library privileges), but it also includes the ability to serve on MA/PhD committees -- which is to say, you can be part of the group of people who certify the completion of an academic degree, which is not a privilege normally extended to retired professors. I've seen it granted when someone is switching institutions, but would like to remain the major advisor for a PhD candidate.

But whatever the case, the person is absolutely "still associated with the university;" that is part of the reason they're awarded. It's an award, certainly, but it's also a way for an academic to keep their credentials and for a university to keep their association with a (sometimes famous) academic.

But yes: It can be revoked at any time. I would be surprised if this one wasn't.

Sure, and a big part of the framing that Thatcher used was to emphasise the obligation of those that might need direct support from society, but ignores the obligations of those that have become wealthy from the implicit support. I think the point you are making, which I agree with, is that the obligations are required everywhere, and should be enforced if not forthcoming.

I think it is important to understand the difference between instruction and implementation level attacks.

Yes, running unsafe bash commands in the implementation can be prevented by sandboxing. Instruction level attacks like tool poisoning, cannot be prevented like this, since they are prompt injections and hijack the executing LLM itself, to perform malicious actions.
Sorry for the question but how behind are the LLMs in terms of quality for something like this?
Correct. As an HN commentator put it in 2023:

“[Progressive enhancement] was just an idea by a few niche people who wanted to disable 1/3 to 2/3 of their browser's technology then demand that web-site operators/builders spend a lot of time and money on implementing for that sub-1% population. They didn't, and these people had no real leverage.”

> there's still real value in continuing to use the best technology we have available to make flying even safer.

That's true, but it would obviously be completely unreasonable to stop all flying in the meantime.
It is consistent with the way the Rust community uses "safe": as "passes static checks and thus protects from many runtime errors."

This regularly drives C++ programmers mad: the statement "C++ is all unsafe" is taken as some kind of hyperbole, attack or dogma, while the intent may well be to factually point out the lack of statically checked guarantees.

It is subtle but not inconsistent that strong static checks ("safe Rust") may still leave the possibility of runtime errors. So there is a legitimate, useful broader notion of "safety" where Rust's static checking is not enough. That's a bit hard to express in a title - "correctness" is not bad, but maybe a bit too strong.
This entire argument is based on incorrect assumptions.

I'm not just inferring this from different values. As I said in the article, people are openly and literally telling me they'd prefer to stay in the bubble:

"I'll often ask: if the opposite of your beliefs were true, would you want to know?

Surprisingly, I've had good friends, who enjoy political debate, explicitly answer ‘no’. And even many who initially answer ‘yes’ will later admit to the answer really being ‘no’."

Desiring to seek truth is not referring to the energy someone is willing to expend, it's related to this^ ignoring, or asking to stop once an exploration proves the fundamental belief their world rests on as false.

I see many comments here saying “but stock market went up” while ignoring the bare bone problem Buffett is presenting: Disproportionate foreign ownership of US assets harms American sovereignty.

The issue may be that sovereignty is hard to measure, but I think we have been complaining about the long-tail effects for a while:

- wealth inequality (as businesses become optimized on foreign labor, execs are paid more and workers less)

- job security (volatility for investor class means sudden job cuts or offshoring)

- asset inflation in real estate (no one can afford a freakin house)

- WAR (we have an obligation to defend our debt owners in the Middle East)

Every time the public trust gets violated, we lose a small piece of our future.

Absolutely zero thought is never given on policing boundaries on anything. That's not how the legal system operates. All laws are approximations at best and grey areas get decided by courts on a case-by-case basis.

Economic models need a modern overhaul, but the entrenched nature of academic economic programs - hidebound is not a bad descriptor - makes this fairly unlikely.

A central issue is 'aggregate demand' - this needs replacement by individual-level demand analysis. An obvious issue is that if a small wealthy sector of society is consuming heavily, while the vast majority is in a belt-tightening phase, any aggregate demand measure is not going to capture either sector and will have a massive distorting effect on projected outcomes. Yes, individual-level models would be vastly more computationally demanding, but this is now possible.

Similarly, consider the effect of lowering interest rates in a system where a small wealthy sector has mechanisms in place to capture all that liquidity, so instead of small business starts increasing, stock buybacks by major corporations are the norm. Again, this is where 'aggregate demand' misses that fine-scale structure that really controls outcomes.

Fundamentally, these economic models aren't capturing the effects of gross wealth inequality. One of the most astute economic contrarians who raises this issue is Gary Stevenson:

As a pitch for self driving, it's going to be a long time before I trust a computer to do the above better than I do. At the very least adding sensors I don't have access to will give me assurance the car won't drive into a wall with a road painted on it. I don't know how on earth you'd market self-driving as competent without being absurdly conservative about what functionality you claim to be able to deliver. Aggregate statistics about safety aren't going to make me feel emotionally stable when I am familiar with how jerky and skittish the driving is under visually confusing driving conditions.

Perhaps vision is sufficient, but it seems hopelessly optimistic to expect to be able to pitch it without some core improvement over human driving (aside from my ability to take the hand off the wheel while driving).

Musk is not Trump's "close friend". He is someone who holds him by the balls with some iron-clad leverage.
>> using a piece of the law that lets them calculate a fine based on revenue that also includes other companies Mr. Musk privately controls, like his rocket maker, SpaceX.

So basicaly lets just use some stupid law that lets us randomly take into account all of the other property of a businessowner.

> I don't think I agree that workplace accidents are that different. It's not primarily the workers who die who benefit from those machines that kill them - I'd say the workers _are_ someone else.

I’m not saying only the workers benefit. I’m saying there is no outrage if some coal miners die in West Virginia and definitely there is no outrage about the working conditions of immigrant farmers, factory workers at Amazon warehouses, and definitely not the supply chains overseas.

But if little Becky got killed by an autonomous car, you would have all sorts of hearings.
This was the particularly notable part:

During your lifetime the US economic and political status in the world has been on the rise. It was viewed as an island of stability and growth.

I think the current administration isn't helping but we're talking about a multi-decade process here. Some of what we see today goes back to Bush and Obama policies. It also goes to geopolitical changes, China, India, Russia. Globalization. Technological changes. Climate change. etc. etc.
It does not seem like you have much experience with either LiDAR or stereo vision. These systems have well known performance characteristics and advantages. LiDAR has its limitations (in terms of point density and scan rate, and cost), but its range estimate accuracy just blows stereo vision away for automotive settings.

The error on range estimates from stereo “disparity” goes up as range squared for fundamental-physics reasons. Accurate calculation of disparity relies on well calibrated optics (clean, physically rigid) and it’s easy to disrupt that.

Stereo is also target-sensitive. Stereo ranging is enhanced by certain target features, like large, smooth surfaces with texture (say, stucco walls, or car grilles). It is made more difficult by smaller target surfaces with weird curvature.

I’m sure that stereo that did well on auto-sized surfaces would do much worse for pedestrian or motorcycle (size and shape) surfaces.
Disclaimer: this mostly happened before, or at best shortly after, I was born, so this isn't drawn from personal recollection but rather attempting to synthesize from others' recollections, often from people who have some bias.

One of the major trends in computing in the 80's and 90's is that high-end systems lost out to the growth in capabilities of low-end systems, and this happens in pretty much every level in the computing stack. Several people responded to this trend by writing articles sniffling that their high-end systems lost to mass market garbage, often by focusing on the garbage of the mass market garbage and conveniently avoiding analysis as to why the high-end systems failed to be competitive in the mass market. The wonders of Lisp is one of the major topics of this genre.

Most famously, Lisp was tarred by its association with AI during the concomitant collapse of AI that led to the AI Winter, though it's less often explored why AI failed. In short, it didn't work. But more than just AI at the time, people also felt that the future of programming in general was based around the concept of something like rules-based systems: you have a set of rules that correspond to all of the necessary business logic, and a framework of program logic that's making those rules actually take effect--you can see how a language like Lisp works very well in such a world. But programming doesn't have a clean separation between business logic and program logic in practice, and attempts to make that separation cleaner have largely failed.

So Lisp has a strong competitive advantage in a feature that hasn't proven to actually be compelling (separating business from program logic). Outside of that feature, most of its other features are rather less unique and have seeped into most mainstream programming languages. Functional paradigms, REPLs, smart debuggers, garbage collection--these are all pretty widespread nowadays. Where Lisp had good ideas, they've been extensively borrowed. Where those ideas haven't pulled their weight... they've languished, and most of the people wistfully wishing for a return to Lisp haven't acknowledged that the limitations of these features.

Germany/Europe are just the same kind of capitalist societies as anywhere else. If somebody is offering to sell you stuff for cheaper than another you most likely will buy unless other aspects override the advantage.

Interesting news given the recently announced US trade war vs the entire world, with special treatment for rivals like the EU and China.

It seems the EU have decided the most effective response to an oligarchy declaring trade war is to target the leading oligarchs with government influence. Expect more actions which enrage Trump and Musk and an escalation from both sides. This won’t end well for either side IMO.

That's also been the issue for decades with the financial industry: the fines and probability of getting caught are far less (and already 'priced' in) vs the big profits.

> it will be hard to find some of them and to impress them by your anti-corporate-politics stance in a way that leads to immediate hiring.

I think this might get at a cultural/values difference.

For some, an important goal is to be honest, and/or to be known as honest.

Maybe for its own sake, maybe for a more complicated reason (like they want to promote honesty by example so they can trust others, or want to avoid small dishonesty turning into big dishonesty).

But some others trying to fit that to immediate goals, will be, like: . o O ( OK, self, I can make this counterparty think I'm honest, for cost X, but how much will that advance my objective of getting them to take action Y, which is the goal, of course )

The elite schools and top-paying tech employers that encourage truth-bending and theatre, in getting in and then advancing, are promoting the latter kind of thinking about honesty.

We can debate which thinking is better, but we can inform that by understanding the other groups better.

Objective-C does have a runtime that maintains all the state necessary to implement the APIs in the documentation you linked.

Right, but it is in large part because of Navarro that Trump thinks universal tarifss are a great idea, since Navarro advocated for them and created credibility for his theories by inventing this fictional "expert".

It gave Trump plausible deniability, he can claim he's just doing what great experts from the academia are advocating. And it gave us the market-crash and global trade-war. It's easy for billionaires to lighten up and have fun, but not for most other people.

Tariffs are a sales-tax, which means poor people have to relinguish a larger proportion of their income to the government, than rich people. It is great wealth transfer from ordinary people to the rich. And one can only conjecture that THAT is why Trump and Navarro advocate for it.
I would be dubious of the utility if it calculated imperfectly and in a way that couldn't be understood and characterized by people.

If the advice to the public given by experts in the field was that this lack of determinism and understandability was acceptable I would be disgusted.
