This is a bit orthogonal to the broader conversation, but you've hooked me with your predicament: Can you allow for preorders or "Expressed interest" at a new price point? (or at a hand-wavy price point to assess interest re: overhead/bulk/etc.) If tariffs come down, you can refund/credit, but for customers who wanted this, something-at-some-price may be better than nothing-at-any-price.
Absolutely valid and befitting point - adding complexity without clear benefits never should be justified. Most (business) applications have ruleset logic for specific problems not exceeding a dozens of rules - regular code often works fine.

Logic systems tend to show the value when rules become complex with many interdependencies or non-linear execution patterns emerge, or rules change frequently or need to be defined at runtime; when you need explanation tools - e.g., why was this conclusion reached?, etc.

I agree, situations for when you need to implement a logic system are not extremely common, but maybe I just have not worked in industries where they are - on top of my head I can think of: factory floor scheduling; regulatory compliance (e.g., complex tax rules); insurance systems, risk-calculation (credit approval); strategy games; retail - complex discounting; etc.
Maybe. That’s clearly the likely case for Norfolk.

Do you know if tariffs are assessed based on the country of origin in the bill of lading? The Guardian article doesn’t answer that question. I’d suspect so since that’s how everyone is counting imports and exports, but the Guardian article isn’t clear.

I wish I'd written "...derivative creations..." in that sentence, but heat-of-the-moment being what it was I did not. Having said that, I believe the scope of an infringing derivative work is a lot broader than you are suggesting.

Finding success defending a derivative work on the basis of fair use, particularly if the derivative work is itself financially successful and derivative of a work "owned" by a rights holder with deep pockets, doesn't seem to be very easy in today's legal climate. It certainly doesn't take "wholesale" copying to attract the attention of a rights holder, either. Heck, with the music industry it doesn't take any copying at all to end up losing a lawsuit.

I'll cite the Tolkien or Marvin Gaye estates as good examples among many. I, too, believe it's a ton more nuanced than how you're characterizing it.

> Generically, this is another common suggestion from people with naive viewpoints and little or no relevant experience and/or exposure.

I said "I would prefer a fairer system to burning it all down...". I even qualified my writing as hyperbolic. It seems disingenuous that you'd choose to belittle and make unfavorable comparisons, given both of those statements.

Characterize my viewpoint how you will, but my viewpoint isn't "burning it all down". I will admit that indulging in a little daydreaming about morally repugnant rights hoarders getting what they deserve is fun, but it isn't realistic or productive for society. A fairer system, enabled by shorter copyright terms and better handling of "orphan" works, would be the right thing and what I wish for. Just like I said.

> I should also mention that literally every working artist I've talked to about the prospect of abolishing IP law is vehemently opposed to it.

Well, yeah-- of course they would be opposed to such a vast, sweeping change. It would be madness if they weren't.

The interesting conversation to have with working artists would be about reducing copyright terms, and how that would both "cost" them in potential lost revenue but at the same time free them from the specter of potential litigation and, at the same time, open up vast tracts of public domain work they could build upon.

How can you possibly compare Britain in 1945 to the US today? By 1945 Britain had spent all of its gold reserves, it had stopped exporting anything due to the war but as an island nation needed massive imports to survive. It had a restless global empire that was costing huge sums of money to maintain and a massive military left over from the war. The situation was so bad that food was rationed for years after the war and there were coal shortages.

Britain was at a point where without massive aid from the US huge numbers of people would die of cold or starvation. The US has huge surpluses of food and energy.

The idea that we're in such a crisis that we have to eat our own seed corn (massive cuts to science research which is one of the main drivers of US economic growth) is crazy.
If someone is incompetent enough to understand Cobol databases, I doubt they are thinking about it on this level.

Given all of Musks actions, he is probably wanting to destroy any agency that went against him, because he truly believes he is the humanities savior and his companies are doing things the right way.

> US government funding of science isn’t a net cost due to taxes on the long term economic productivity that results.

There's an assumption here that deserves some closer examination. If we are taking this as a justification for federal science spending, we would have to also support a policy of awarding research grants on the basis of expected long term return on investment, which is not the criteria applied now. Furthermore, we would have to justify this spending in competition with whatever economic investments the government could make elsewhere, or that the American taxpayers would make if we let them keep their money in the first place. From the standpoint of scientific research I don't think this is necessarily what we want, but even if it was we would have some hard questions about the last few decades of federal research funding.

I am not against IP because it does or doesn't benefit artists. I am against the idea because it does not make sense. It gives ownership and control over imaginary things to people, a song you create and public isn't "yours". You do not get to decide what others do with it and how they use it.

I believe that artists see the current IP laws critically, of course they do as it directly impacts how they finance themselves and how they bargain. But I do not care how good/bad the bargain for the artist is. IP laws should be abolished regardless of what artists want.
In the realms of Windows and game development you primarily use Visual Studio Solutions / projects with property sheets. The underlying build system is msbuild.

It is less powerful than CMake and has a relatively steep learning curve due to poor documentation. But once you get the hang of it, it's actually pretty straight forward with just a few pitfalls here and there. You simply have to accept that certain things are not possible... but chances are, these things can't even be done easily in CMake either.
This article is a very LLVM-centric view, and it does ignore the GNU idea of a target triple, which is essentially $(uname -a)-vendor-$(uname -s), with vendor determined (so far as I can tell) entirely from uname -s, the system name undergoing some amount of butchering, and version numbers sometimes being included and sometimes not, and Linux getting a LIBC tacked on.

But that doesn't mean the article should be ignored in its entirety. LLVM's target triple parsing is more relevant for several projects (especially given that the GNU target triple scheme doesn't include native Windows, which is one of the most common targets in practice!). Part of the problem is that for many people "what is a target triple" is actually a lead-in to the question "what are the valid targets?", and trying to read config.guess is not a good vehicle to discover the answer. config.guess isn't also a good way to find about target triples for systems that aren't designed to run general-purpose computing, like if you're trying to compile for a GPU architecture, or even a weird x86 context like UEFI.
The fact that no charges have ever been brought against him by the Salvadoran government, yet they still claim to be holding him there lends credence to this. Why would they not simply release him? If he's dead it would be a major problem for Bukele's government as well as the US government. So evidently we're in "disappeared" territory now.
As a Go developer, I certainly find the complaints about the go conventions amusing. I guess if you have really invested so much into understanding all the details in the rest of this article you might be annoyed that it doesn't translate 1 to 1 to Go.

But for the rest of us, I'm so glad that I can just cross compile things in Go without thinking about it. The annoying thing with setting up cross compilation in GCC is not learning the naming conventions, it is getting the correct toolchains installed and wired up correctly in your build system. Go just ships that out of the box and it is so much more pleasant.

Its also one thing that is great about zig. Using Go+zig when I need to cross compile something that includes cgo in it is so much better than trying to get GCC toolchains setup properly.
It’s not even possible to convert between USB and FireWire without active electronics, as the signals are not compatible in the slightest.

I have taken up woodworking last year(so I am a super beginner), and in summary it nourishes my mind and soul in ways that tech world keeps failing to. Instead of getting instant gratification of buying things on Amazon, I spend weeks to build one item, and that item brings me unparalleled satisfaction, trains my patience, concentration, and unlike coding which does check some of above boxes it pulls me away from my computer which is responsible for half a dozen of my bad habits. In a way it takes me back to era before content overload, consumerism, and capitalism.

I know that this very vague but there is a lot that is coursing through my head as I’m reading your question. I am happy to answer any more specific questions. I also took up couple (black)smithing projects and they are very satisfying as well, just harder to start with.
> Is there any political tool

It's a social problem. Smaller democratic political arenas work closer to the ideal. Larger political arenas have more noise and less concise agendas, because of the disparate groups being appealed to. The US is too big. Large societies, across time trend toward authoritarianism (sometimes leading to full-fledged) until revolution and dissolution. Then the remaining states fight amongst themselves within a region, assembling into a singular organization due to practical and political factors, until it starts over again. Eventually you get something like europe and most of southeast asia. States tend to be more stable if they roughly match their regional terrain boundaries and aren't too large.

Largely agree, but still very much depends on what you're screening for. For example, my oncologist still recommends CT over MRI for post-surgical screening as the increased resolution makes it possible to detect tumors a bit earlier.

Ridiculous! And they don't even discount you for bringing the package to their dropbox or to a store, it's the same price for home pickup. There's just no way to economically ship things as an individual.

Yes. The only way Trump is ousted is if Democrats somehow get a supermajority in the House and the Senate and impeach and remove him, which isn't going to happen. Republicans will always close ranks around Trump at this point. He definitely won't leave office peacefully, if at all. What happens after that, I don't know.

> I don’t understand why representing data in an s-expression is better than representing it as nested arrays (lists of lists) and hashtables/dictionaries.

An s-expression is a list. An s-expression like (list (list 1 2) (list 3 4) (list 5 6)) is a list of lists. An s-expression like (hash "a" 1 "b" 2) is as hash table/dictionary.

> I also don’t see why representing data in a language’s data structure is inherently better than representing it in a language-agnostic format like JSON

You don't see why having a language data structure like Date is better than having a date-string stored in a JSON value that you need to provide parsing and other functions for? If you have a language data structure like Date, you can add days to a date, extract the month, convert it to a DateTime, etc. If you just have a JSON value, you either need to provide those functions or convert your JSON value to the Date language data structure. It seems like you see the value in using the language's data structure because you then say:

> having libraries to parse and convert data from that format into a language data structure

Also, JSON is just as "language agnostic" as s-expressions. JSON happens to be a first class component of JavaScript, as s-expressions are a first class component of Lisp; if libraries exist to help you deal with JSON in other languages, so, too, can libraries exist to help you deal with s-expressions.

> I’m struggling to understand what the tangible benefits are.

I think you understand the tangible benefits of JSON? It is a human readable/writable data serialization format. It is integrated in JavaScript in such a way that you can easily serialize, parse, and extract data from it without reaching for a library. S-expressions within Lisp do that, but they don't limit you to strings, floats, arrays, and unsorted maps. You don't need to write conversion functions or use them from a library because reading and writing s-expressions are core parts of Lisp.

I'm lucky with a fairly decent remote job, at least for the time being. I missed my chance to get a FAANG job and retire by young.

Now I'm in my 30s. Old and bitter. Gone are the dreams of raising a VC round and making millions of dollars. If I ever do come up with something, I'll just bootstrap it.

I don't want a board of directors telling me what to do.

I have a very unique idea for project management of all things and I reckon I could build it for 50k or so.

They can work for their living like I do or get a following/sponsors which pays for their creative output. The later works quite well in the case of YouTube. YouTubers generally have proven that it is absolutely possible to commercialize an artistic output that is given out for free, removing IP laws would have essentially zero effect on them.

Nobody owes artists the ability to make a living just for being artists.

> AI hasn't figured out a way to de-censor solid black yet.

I did though, under certain circumstances. Microsoft's Snipping Tool was vulnerable to the "acropalypse" vulnerability - which mostly affected the cropping functionality, but could plausibly affect images with blacked-out regions too, if the redacted region was a large enough fraction of the overall image.

The issue was that if your edited image had a smaller file size than the original, only the first portion of the file was overwritten, leaving "stale" data in the remainder, which could be used to reconstruct a portion of the unedited image.

To mitigate this in a more paranoid way (aside from just using software that isn't broken) you could re-screenshot your edited version.
Global hegemony of the US is based not on 5% of people, rather the US sphere of influence. US, Canada, EU, Japan, Australia, South Korea, etc. The combination is immensely rich, powerful and advanced. Even more so when you keep India on board as well.

It at least stands a fighting chance if it wasn't the case that this alliance is being destroyed before our eyes.

I will admit that even an integrated alliance cannot push around China in the way it could decades ago.
Even today most cameras have some amount of rolling shutter—the readout on a high-megapixel sensor is too slow/can't hold the entire sensor in memory instantaneously, so you get a vertical shift to the lines as they're read from top to bottom.

Global shutter sensors of similar resolution are usually a bit more expensive.

With my old film cameras, at higher shutter speeds, instead of opening the entire frame, it would pass a slit of the front/rear shutter curtain over the film to just expose in a thousandth of a second or less time.

Comparing GPT-4.1 against other models in "did code change cause this incident"
We've been testing GPT-4.1 in our investigation system, which is used to triage and debug production incidents.

I thought it would be useful to share, as we have evaluation metrics and scorecards for investigations, so you can see how real-world performance compares between models.

I've written the post on LinkedIn so I could share a picture of the scorecards and how they compare:

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/lawrence2jones_like-many-others-we-were-excited-about-openai-activity-7317907307634323457-FdL7

Our takeaways were:

- 4.1 is much fussier than Sonnet 3.7 at claiming a code change caused an incident, leading to a drop (38%) in recall

- When 4.1 does suggest a PR caused an incident, it's right 33% more than Sonnet 3.7

- 4.1 blows 4o out the water, with 4o finding just 3/31 of the code changes in our dataset, showing how much of an upgrade 4.1 is on this task

In short, 4.1 is a totally different beast to 4o when it comes to software tasks, and at a much lower price-point than Sonnet 3.7 we'll be considering it carefully across our agents.

We are also yet to find a metric where 4.1 is worse than 4o, so at minimum this release means >20% cost savings for us.

Hopefully useful to people!

How do you stop doing that if it's a habit you find out is very ingrained in you?

EG.. You are angry at me because I doubled parked. I tell you that the spot I pick was the only one available at the time I took it, and if that is no longer the case(cars have moved) it's not my problem. You are upset about something you do not have the right to be upset about.

I understand the above example is obviously...stupid. I am the stupid person that will argue with you that I didn't do anything wrong, since at that moment in time it was the only option available.

My question is.. how can I stop being like this? It's not good in my life, and negatively impacts my closest relationships.
> No, it's still stupid.

It doesn't serve the goals you think it should, that's not necessarily stupid.

> High corruption leads to weaker economic performance (eg compare red vs blue states).

Yes, but the people who are pursuing corruption don't care about maximizing aggregate economic performance, they care about maximizing their power over others, which is isn't the same as "economic performance" and, to the extent that it related to economic performance, doesn't have any necessary relation to a broad aggregate, its more concerned with very specific aspects of relative distribution.
