kloop

It does make it correct in the reality sense

If someone says something happens and the code says something else, the code wins.

The article mentions that the "pranksterish" groups who took psychedelics weathered it just fine. They didn't have an expectation to disappoint. Irreverence seems to be just as good

It does sound like the opposite a bit, it sounds like attempting to create a spiritual practice, or assign spiritual significance at all was what did him in

Give how default gcc and clang are, along with the recommendation to update the standard instead of gcc and clang, it sounds like the standard is noncompliant with standard C++

Standard in the sense of commonly used or supplied

whistles

3.3 kilopounds? That's a lot

Generally speaking, things that you sell (the legal term is commercial speech, iirc) is more able to be regulated by the government.

The government can ban the sale of those things to minors, generally. So the category of porn sites that require a credit card and pay gate the content might be regulateable.

But that's not how places like pornhub or xvideos operate

It would probably also be illegal for the government to mandate a paywall.

The issue is not that age gates are illegal, but that the government forcing people to use age gates is illegal.

There's a big difference here, in the US anyways, neither alcohol nor nicotine have first amendment protections. Basically all content delivered over the US does.

That's a much thornier legal issue

It is not disingenuous, maybe a little loose on the 'meaning', but your definition is rather narrow

The thing is that every other country does have what they're describing.

The Color Purple has been challenged many times in order to be removed from public library circulation and public school curriculums.

And yet nobody challenged it to get it removed from US Amazon. Amazon _is_ forbidden from selling certain books in other countries. It's so not the same thing

Ahh, more supplement. I must have misread as more absolute amount

Do they need more vitamin D? I thought they just needed more sun to get the same vitamin D

You're not wrong that a rationale is required.

But the master knowing when to break the rules because of tacit knowledge without being able to explain it is a real effect

Radioactive decay shows that a young earth could not exist

This is one of the worst arguments against young earth creationism. You have to posit a being who can create the universe, but can't create already decayed elements.

The problem we're seeing across many professions is AI output is not getting vetted by knowledgeable people

The problem is that output sometimes take longer to verify than to create in the first place.

That turns AI into a deeply negative ROI system for many applications.

1st amendment. There's a long history of carve outs around commercial products. But, if Linux devs (who aren't selling anything) went to the mat against this law, the government of California would lose and (at least part of) their law would be struck down.

The article mentions Zig as a factor, but is micromanaging memory really gaining over 2x vs node?

As someone who has optimized by reducing/batching heap allocations, 2x seems within the realm of possibility, depending on the exact circumstances.

That being said, iirc, node also has more hooks for things like observability than bun does, which might hurt it here

There's not really enough info to know if this is just a coin toss or something more.

The difference is always having one or two devs who care. Every successful software project I've ever seen has had a few devs who care way more than is healthy

It can't block a federal warrant.

Exactly. If they all submit to federal warrants, and the state has a law effectively against that, then it becomes illegal to use the cameras.

That probably just means it's illegal for local governments to use cloud based cameras in Illinois

That doesn't seem like the obvious story to me. Normies and even most (non-tech) companies don't really know the difference between chatgpt and claude yet. And they generally don't have opinions or ideas on agentic X.

The obvious story seems to be that OpenAI was reckless and got way ahead of their revenue assuming it would keep hockey-sticking

No more: five code monkey contractors under a lead. Two top-notch devs are all that is needed now, unrestrained by sprints and mindless ceremonies.

This doesn't tell me anything. Two devs who cared and didn't have a bunch of pointless meetings could already, and regularly did, scoop the big tech teams.

There were always 2 ways to complete a ticket. One that did what the stakeholder wanted, and one that does what the ticket says.

But devs that care about the product and what the stakeholders need are rare, and finding one of them was already a significant bottleneck on most projects.

AI might be an accelerator, but we've yet to see if it's optimizing the part that was actually the bottleneck yet.

To be blunt, those freelancers wouldn't be doing this if they had better options

Every time one of these articles come up, you can recognize that silicon valley is treating these people badly, but you should remember that everyone else is treating them worse

No, this paper doesn't seem to talk about regional differences. The implication seems to be that it wouldn't be surprising to find differences between groups that separated more than 2kya, as there was active changes going on before that time. Not that it predicts any specific differences

If anything they seem to support homogenization of intellectual capacity/mental health in Eurasia since 2kya.

I would be interested in how you came to that conclusion, unless I'm misleading your post and you specifically mean West Eurasia

I think they're talking about this bit:

We finally observed signals of selection for combinations of alleles that today are associated with three correlated behavioural traits: scores on intelligence tests (increasing γ = 0.74 ± 0.12), household income (increasing γ = 1.12 ± 0.12) and years of schooling (increasing γ = 0.63 ± 0.13). These signals are all highly polygenic, and we have to drop 449–1,056 loci for the signals to become non-significant (Extended Data Fig. 10). The signals are largely driven by selection before approximately 2,000 years )*, after which γ tends towards zero

Presumably pressure in different regions lead to different combinations of those alleles, which I think they are shorthanding a bit, but the fact that those alleles exist makes blank slate theory a kind of rough assumption

Feature usage can't tell you that.

There's often a checklist of features management has, and meeting that list gets you in the door, but the features often never get used

how big is the text file? I bet it's a megabyte, isn't it?

The edit in the article says ~1.5kb

You have made a claim with zero rationale to back it up.

Why shouldn't it look like that? Especially with a law this dumb

You're ignoring the biggest part of SaaS as far as management is concerned.

There's a large, stable entity that management can sue if something goes very wrong.

We don't know. We seem to be hitting diminishing returns, but we don't exactly know where it will stop

I hate that it's a method. That can get lost in a method chain easily enough during a code review.

A function or a keyword would interrupt that and make it less tempting

And 4chan has (had? Haven't been there in a while) "only a fool would take the things here as fact"

Doesn't matter, a good chunk of people are going to take everything at face value
