oracle planning a new jvm language? have we ever seen a feature like this that is explicitly not usable from Java?

Article is mistaken these subs are not available to businesses. Companies are paying much closer to API prices. The strategy is to get you accustomed to infinite tokens on your personal sub and bet that behavior transfers to work.

maybe of interest: https://github.com/cloudflare/vinext

(haven't tried it myself)

It's not hidden at all, Claude pushes it even tho it poisons the context after every edit with false positives because it's always out of date. This feature should be hidden given how half baked it is.

couldn't opencode just switch to agent sdk?

deno does support per-host network permissions https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/security/#network...

I'm sure there's a reason but I would expect a system like this to use leader leases for local reads

IMO there really needs to be a way to mark all variables non-null by default at package or at least a file level. Otherwise there will be a strong safety argument for always using T! syntax on almost every variable and this will just be a lot of noise.

Anyone who knowingly developed this should be tried held personally responsible.

"software is a force multiplier" well maybe that's the point. I am a superstitious b*tch but maybe the Universe doesn't want our force to be multiplied any more!!!!

I've been trading for 4 years on the side mostly on intuition. I like to think one can emotionally program the powerful computer that is the unconscious mind to serve the distributed monster of global finance for profit. Sometimes I even do tarot. Seems to kinda work LoL what could possibly go wrong????

true but as engineers we should sometimes sacrifice and live in the future a bit to maximize opportunity and in the future hardware will adapt to software as it always has

Basic age verification is pretty easy, no? I’m not sure about the details but this seems like a pretty low bar for a site like this. Not that I’m advocating it be required but just that if it were me I would not make something like this without at least making the best possible attempt at age verification.

How exactly do you imagine those laws would be structured?

wow I’ve never heard it put like that but that’s exactly it! I definitely have the second type of reaction. It really feels like short-term hypomania (have some experience with that too).

can’t wait to get this CRISPR’ed into me

would be great to put some examples in your README especially for those of us not so familiar with the concept

it’s open source you can add the feature to download the code yourself if you want it. being open source is also just a good thing in itself because it’s contributing to the total body of code available for others to extend and use in whatever way they want.

Ah I think I get it. While it might be true that the average (imagined) future observer will have a history which is anthropically biased in this way we cannot use this reasoning to make predictions about which particular future we will find ourselves in (because that’s random according to the usual Born rule probabilities).

I would really love the opportunity to clarify my thinking on this. Is there any way I could ask you to explain it to me in more detail? I can compensate you for your time.

I wonder if there’s a side channel attack in there waiting to happen..

Unfortunately it seems like we have hit an impasse. I don’t really understand why you think this is invalid but I would love to be proved wrong. If you would like to continue this discussion over email (or whatever) I’d love that: hn at echophase dot com

That’s a super interesting point. I feel like it’s getting at some deep personality trait around optimism/pessimism (or realism as the pessimists would say ;) so perhaps it’s not surprising that it’s so divisive.

Not a lawyer but seems like the kind of behavior that would or at least should pierce limited liability.

So you’re saying that that line of reasoning depends on people existing in the future and thinking about the same kinds of things we do now in the same kinds of ways (at least wrt this particular argument). I can see how that is not guaranteed, especially far into the future where it might become difficult to understand what qualifies as an observer-moment. It is certainly speculative.

Why? If the argument works at this point in time when reflecting on our history what makes it stop working for future observers who reflect on their histories?

It can certainly lead you to some pretty wacky-sounding conclusions (looking at you Frank Tipler) but I can’t see why it’s obviously wrong for future observers to deploy it in just the same was as we do.

You're probably right about the Portugal example, I don't know enough about it to know if it is the solution for sure. I was just grasping for what I could only think of as the best possible solution. Perhaps there truly is no solution.

But criminalization certainly isn't the solution. Hiding the problem in order to allow the rest of society to ignore it more easily is obviously (to me at least) less desirable than having it in the open where we are all forced to share at least some small part of the burden, the hope being that this will push us to find real solutions.

Re: ketamine - the point is that many these folks are seeking an escape from an unbearable life. In that position, there is really no desire to neuter the drug. I'm pretty sure Suboxone availability is not the issue. Ketamine on the other hand might provide a similar escape without most of the harmful side effects. It's pretty obvious that ketamine is much less harmful in every way than heroin.

I said "there is a line of reasoning...", I didn't say I fully believe it. It definitely depends on a lot of pretty speculative ideas. I'm happy to discuss this further if you'd like to point out exactly which parts of the argument you object to.

EDIT: I continue the conversation with ChatGPT to try to poke holes in the argument if you’re interested: https://chat.openai.com/share/19871222-9810-4a25-9604-8e690b...

You're absolutely right. I was wrong to oversimplify and claim that this is everyone's experience. I do think that it is the experience of many people who don't have families or support structures or any economic prospects. I completely agree that better education about the different levels of harm of different substances is incredibly important and lacking. I will say that while I don't know the stats on this, in the communities I am in meth has been at least as destructive for people as heroin.

See my response to the other comment. I think I got this idea either from David Deutsch or Frank Tipler, I forget exactly which book.
