An excellent example of why dash length matters. Because of the wrong usage of ‘—’ and ‘-’, it took me 10 more seconds of rereading and re-parsing your comment to understand what that first sentence meant.

I see what you did in the second paragraph too. It’s another example of “a millimeter of difference in the length of a line” mattering in that it looks weird, though it’s not much harder to read.
Well actually I know a little something about this. One of my specialties within the AWS consulting space is implementing Amazon Connect call centers solutions that involve SMS.

It takes awhile. But I’ve never had a customer complain about SMS messages going through

All of this stuff goes hand in hand. If you are getting a "social media frenzy going", to get someone fired, you are also response for when that social media targets someone's friends and family with stalking, harassment, and death threats.

You cannot pick and chose the consequences of your social media frenzy. It all happens at once, and you don't control the mob. And you are at fault for all of the consequences of that hate mob.

Are you certain the island in the Caribbean you were thinking of wasn't Puerto Rico? I can't imagine what other island you'd make them on.

This is also why I like Yandex and non-US and non-european search especially in terms of censorship by copyright in the USA.

If you go to Yandex and search "a minecraft movie torrent" the first 6 links are the preprint that variety.com 'claims' were mostly removed. In reality, the only sites deindexed were Google and Bing.

This shows that the limits of the first amendment are speech when its convenient. Links, webpages, and more are speech, but also completely censored in the US media.

Weirdly, Russian based companies have less a problem with the free speech the USA kicks us offline for.
Sounds like someone drank their own Kool aid (believing current AI can be a security researcher), and then gets frustrated when they realize they have overhyped themselves.

Current AI just cannot do the kind of symbolic reasoning required for finding security vulnerabilities in softwares. They might have learned to recognize "bad code" via pattern matching, but that's basically it.
My exchange with another commenter in this thread led me to reconsider the Children of Time series, and I'm now inclined to agree with you, putting the second and third books, books, particularly the third, ahead of the first. (And as I said elsewhere in the thread, I'm really impressed, and delighted, by the quality of the responses people have offered to my offhand comments).

"Because we're going on an adventure." Funny, it hadn't occurred to me to think of the second book as horror, but you're right.

I had no idea Tschaikovsky's career arc was so grueling. I agree that he seems incredibly smart. I just, for the life of me, can't understand why he had anything nice to say about Fractal Noise. That misfire alone (Just the result of his good manners, politics, or kindness to fellow writers?), I think, tarnished my view of his work.

I'll add Vandermeer to my to-read list, thanks!
They are huge indeed. But is not the reason we don't buy USA cars. In the countryside yes, for years, because they are useful. Transport tools, materials, dogs...

Cities center are transitioning to no-cars, so paved historical roads is not an issue.

Europe is quite a mix also, maybe is an issue in your area, not in Spain.
I think we could actually start the path to this by making unethical advertising illegal. Here's kind of what I'm thinking: no forced advertising. All ads that steal time away from you (like forcing people to watch ads before accessing something) would be illegal. The reasoning being that you're essentially stealing an infinitely valuable resource: people's time. It's unethical for ad agencies to steal such a valuable resource for such a meager reason.
Unfortunately, operator[] on std::vector is inherently unsafe. You can potentially try to ban it (using at() instead), but that has its own problems.

There’s a great talk by Louis Brandy called “Curiously Recurring C++ Bugs at Facebook” [0] that covers this really well, along with std::map’s operator[] and some more tricky bugs. An interesting question to ask if you try to watch that talk is: How does Rust design around those bugs, and what trade offs does it make?

My personal observation shows the opposite.
In practice, I suspect the immediate trigger here was tariffs.
I vehemently disagree. If I ask a question with an objective answer, and it simply makes something up and is very confident the answer is correct, what the fuck has it understood other than how to piss me off?

It clearly doesn't understand that the question has a correct answer, or that it does not know the answer. It also clearly does not understand that I hate bullshit, no matter how many dozens of times I prompt it to not make something up and would prefer an admittance of ignorance.

Understanding Web APIs: What They Are and How They Work
The commonly given response to this question is two-fold, and both parts have a similar root cause: smart pointers and "safety" being bolted-on features developed decades after the fact. The first part is the standard library itself. You can put your data in a vec for instance, but if you want to iterate, the standard library gives you back a regular pointer that can be dereferenced unchecked, and is intended to be invalidated while still held in the event of a mutation. The second part is third party libraries. You may be diligent about managing memory with smart pointers, but odds are any library you might use probably wants a dumb pointer, and whether or not it assumes responsibility for freeing that pointer later is at best documented in natural language.

This results in an ecosystem where safety is opt-in, which means in practice most implementations are largely unsafe. Even if an individual developer wants to proactive about safety, the ecosystem isn't there to support them to the same extent as in rust. By contrast, safety is the defining feature of the rust ecosystem. You can write code and the language and ecosystem support you in doing so rather than being a barrier you have to fight back against.
London is not a representation of Europe, nor Madrid. Even Paris is completely differente. Germany was full rebuild after war. So, is Europe is a mix, but roads are not the reason to not buy tractors, is utility. Tractors are for country work.
I remember the communism. Boy, you have no idea. And, frankly, your comparisons between EU clampdown on disinformation and hate speech (however effective or justified it is) to communism propaganda and to persecutions against its opponents - it is pretty offensive.
Everything. MIT has open sourced their coursework so I took all of it. I studied, I worked my way through TAOCP, cracking the coding interview (less helpful honestly) and tons of leetcode, I spent 4 years doing this and interviewing to get an idea of the system architecture problems and see how I was progressing.

It worked, after 4 years of studying I landed a SF job and 6 months later I was at Apple, year after that I was at Netflix. You get out of this life what you put into it, and in software it’s all out there for you to get. You don’t need a degree, you don’t have to pass the bar or boards, you just need to prove yourself and be willing to hustle
I wonder if the parent to this comment is another "I don't use trails, so no one does!".

The thing is, though, minihands’ approach to NATO is such that, a few months in, Poland is talking to France about hosting nuclear warheads. Like “oh, we might withdraw from NATO” is not quite the threat it might have been a few years ago; it’s already somewhat questionable what use NATO is anymore.

You really can’t think of any ancillary benefits to the presence of accessible nature?

I feel like this sort of comment (from someone with 14k+ “karma” points) is a kind of DoS attack on their self-perceived opponents.

But nonetheless, here’s three benefits for all, regardless of usage:

- reduction in healthcare costs, both physical and mental

- increased tourism

- increased appreciation for environment which in turn loops back into this list from the top

Just focusing on health alone has wide ranging benefits. And if all you care about are tax revenues and GDP, a healthy, happy workforce goes quite a way to improving both.

I’m not going to list anymore because I got other things to do and think about. And this isn’t going to change your mind anyways.
It’s good rhetoric but bad analogy. LLMs can be very creative (to the point of failure, in hallucinations).

I don’t know if there is a pithy shirt phrase to accurately describe how LLMs function. Can you give me a similar one for how humans think? That might spur my own creativity here.

The equivalent is in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (Title II - Freedoms, Article 11). But I'm not sure why you think freedom of expression permits a business to publish things in a mis-leading manner?
A law cannot remove a natural right. A law can protect a natural right or oppress people by using violence against them if they exercise their natural right.

One stark example is the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 in the United States. This law required that escaped slaves, even if they reached free states, be captured and returned to their owners. It went further by mandating that citizens and law enforcement in free states assist in this process, effectively making it illegal to help runaway slaves. Penalties for non-compliance were harsh—fines and imprisonment loomed over anyone who aided a fugitive.

By today’s standards, this is widely seen as abhorrent because it not only upheld slavery but forced people to actively participate in it, stripping away any moral or legal refuge for those seeking freedom. It’s a glaring relic of a time when human beings were legally treated as property, clashing hard with modern values of liberty and equality.
The E2E problem has already been solved long time ago. We used to have Thunderbird with an OpenPGP extension and GPG keys.

Then there were a whole plethora of products were build around Lotus Notes Domino that provided a central place for securing outgoing E-mail using either S/MIME or GPG keys. All of this on premises. Then came the Cloud and obliterated these products. And for what?

Why is "user interaction: none" though? There should be reasoning attached to the CVSS vector in these CVEs.
Again, the word "bias" and its definition exists outside the comparatively narrow concern of training LLMs.
> They pay no taxes on anything related to this office building.

That seems fraudulent.

I was a member of a non-profit org that owned a building and rented out some of it. We paid no taxes on the parts that were used for the non-profit, but owed property taxes on the rental.
This is how most commercial secure email products work.
To be fair- Hegseth has said he wants to cut 8% a year for five years from the pentagon. I strongly disagree, the military should be getting more money. Now is not the time for cuts.

I'm not sure they have the authority to do this anyway they lack power of the purse and all that.
> Someone I know mentioning a product because they want to recommend it to me? Not advertising.

Except that it is, and it's why social media is so important for marketeers; the best kind of advertising is word-to-mouth, so generating discourse about products is big business.

Anyway, without strict legislation and tight controls on social media / chat / RL, how would you know whether they would be getting paid or not?

It's a legal and / or philosophical conundrum, not to mention even more of a legal whack-a-mole than it already is.

The problem with the title is that the phrase "pitfalls of safe rust" implies that these pitfalls are unique to, or made worse by, safe rust. But they aren't. They are challenges in any programming language, which are no worse in rust than elsewhere.

It's like if I wrote an article "pitfalls of Kevlar vests" which talked about how they don't protect you from being shot in the head. It's technically correct, but misleading.

Right now 1 out of every 5 dollars of spent GDP comes from the government.

Why prefix with "Right now"? It's been roughly 20% since 1975, and only marginally lower for the 25 years before that.

The other side of that (taxes) has changed much more substantially during that time (lower).
Good observation but also somewhat trivial. We are not omniscient gods, ultimately all our opinions and decisions will have to be based on our own limited experiences.

This brings me back to my N64 Perfect Dark fansite webmaster-days. I wonder if there's a similar article detailing another cultural internet phenomenon; the tech-forum signatures.

For example; I remember the heyday of the MadOnion forums (the makers of 3D Mark, before they changed their name to Futuremark) and their users having these massive information-dense signature banners showcasing their PC-specs, 3D-mark scores, OC-info, etc.) with and without animations. Even at the time I remember thinking some of them were over the top and distracting, but people really put their hearts into making those things and it took some skill to make a really good one.
I'm pretty sure the only reason we did this was for timesharing, though. Nothing wrong with Harvard architecture if you're only doing one thing.
Highway funding mechanisms are also problematic. State residents pay federal income tax only for the federal government to turn around and transfer highway grants back to the states. It's inefficient and un-American, essentially an end run around how our republic was intended to operate. Let's cut out the middleman and crush the federal government down to its appropriate size and level of authority.

It's totally appropriate for the federal government to fund real interstate highways. But there's little real need for them to get involved in most intrastate transportation. This just serves as a backdoor mechanism to exert excessive levels of federal control and waste more taxpayer dollars.
This is exactly how M365's solution works. Decrypts if the recipient is using MSN or EXO, otherwise punt them to a webpage.

Sure, corporations get free speech protections too. Journalists even moreso.

And while I'm inclined to believe not everyone should have free speech, I'm also aware that denying it is authoritarian.
Truth social pretty much proves that's the case.
"Any information found in a web search about Newman will be available in the training set"

I don't think that is a safe assumption these days. Training modern LLM isn't about dumping in everything on the Internet. To get a really good model you have to be selective about your sources of training data.

They still rip off vast amounts of copyrighted data, but I get the impression they are increasingly picky about what they dump into their training runs.

The global economy would fracture, is what would happen. A good chunk of the top performing stocks would disappear, affecting banking, retirement, housing, just everything. Most of the communication channels people use today would disappear. The online tools even non-ad-businesses use to function would stop, so those businesses would grind to a halt. News would disappear. Products would stop getting made. (US) Politicians would freak the hell out because now they don't know how to get elected. It would be a categorical economic and social disaster.

It’s my understanding that debt is mostly held in the US by Americans and that a country that runs a debt in a currency it controls isn’t anything like household debt.

Just adding some of our roadmap here as well:

Got it.

I think this is, unfortunately, an optimistic, and ultimately anachronistic, perspective on our industry. I think what you describe as "soft-tech people" are in fact the overwhelming majority of junior/entry-level developers, since probably around 6mo-1y ago.
What do you have to say to the 40-year-old man who says he has a natural right to have sex with 10-year-olds and for the state to punish him for it is just as wrong as state support for slavery was?

It seems that the only effect this "natural right" term has on sufficiently curious interlocutors (who will not fall for your rhetorical trick) is to signal that you are more stubborn than people who do not use the term.

Going after Trump-world oligarchs, if that is what’s happening here, is arguably a more viable approach for the EU than the straight-up tariff-mirroring one China is taking.

But then again this has always been true.
Yep, my parents commissioned an oil back in the 70s that was a near duplicate of another artist's painting- they couldn't have afforded the original artist, so he has not lost anything and the painter did the painting as a hired work, so legally I doubt any law was broken.

Hangs on my wall now- I know I can never sell until the copyright on the original runs out (which it most likely won't in my lifetime) it but it is a very well done painting and a family legacy piece I am glad exists.
Why? Companies are regulated all the time. Is deceptive advertising allowed in the US? Didn't think so.[1] Does that violate your First Amendment too?

This case is all about forbidding deceptive practices. Did Twitter's redefinition of blue checkmarks amount to deception? Maybe. There'll be a court case where Twitter get to make their case, if they lose them have to pay the fine. Lay off the pearl clutching.

I also created an experiment for this, giving the AI an ability to write/read from a database so you could build full CRUD apps.

It works somewhat but even with the smaller/faster models it's very slow and even with the big models it is pretty unreliable. Long term I can definitely imagine this will get more viable and maybe become a complement to the 'chat' interface with most SaaS apps essentially being replaced with a AI in front of system or systems of record.
> This shows that the limits of the first amendment are speech when its convenient. Links, webpages, and more are speech, but also completely censored in the US media.

I'm a bit confused by this. Are you saying that publishing the text (speech) of a copyrighted book, and then having the link to that text de-indexed, is the equivalent of violating the First Amendment? I assume Google and Bing just treated this as any other copyright violation.
In business, we usually don't disrupt systems that work and that have a large user base. So therefore, this is unprofessional and they are not listening to their user base. I can only expect disaster, unless they are stopped.
