Not sure what other mechanism would be possible for creating a rule system like the DMA presuming that the EU countries remain independent. Treaties are too slow, and direct democracy on an issue this complicated is the realm of science fic

In the US, normally, citizens of a city do not have the right to act on behalf of the city. They cannot sue on behalf of the city, they cannot unilaterally attempt to enforce the city’s laws, etc. There are some rare exceptions where cities

They do have a say. They can elect representatives who could change the legal framework and the incentives for the bureaucrats, or even remove the ability of the bureaucrats to regulate certain things. Then these regulations would not get p

All good questions. I am not a big believer in claiming I know whether we are in a financial bubble or not. I just put it all in VT and we will see what happens. I know that the AI allows me to write code I couldn’t write before much more q

I’m not completely closed to your idea but if code was never the bottleneck why did so many organizations always feel so chronically low on coders? And of course this requires the AI to be no help at all with what is actually the bottleneck

If it was published in March 2026, even if the data was collected up to the day the study was published, 7/8ths of it would fail my “within the last six months” test. But I am looking forward to the results of future studies on this to

The impact should need to be material and related to some legal right you have, it seems to me. In general you cannot sue to enforce a contract or agreement you are not a party to, even if the outcome of adhering to that contract affects yo

Hopefully just being a resident of a city doesn’t give you standing to sue over any decision that has a tenuous adverse effect on you. I mean if that holds why shouldn’t visitors who might one day hope to visit the given park have standing

I can see an argument that the productivity gains are illusory / don’t translate to economic productivity. I’m not denying the possibility. However, most of the engineers I respect have gone from being skeptics a year ago to convinced

Well it’s just the S&P. Other big indices may include it eg the Russell 3000. But it’s not quite as big of a deal as it seems because the market cap on which they scale is the float not the whole value of the company.

To be fair I don’t act all surprised when someone who has never signaled approval of my boycott doesn’t comply with it.

Did the union do exactly what you wished it to do in all cases? I.e. your perspective carried every single vote? That is the claim I was disputing. For the vast majority of union workers, this will not be the case. Even if it was true for

> the union can do exactly what you wish it to do. There is no such thing. A problem with a union is that everyone's going the same place, and you're not driving. Maybe that place is better than where you could get to on your o

When people say this what they mean is that we've had plausibly useful LLMs for around three years, and I would say that is basically true. The stuff before 2023 could barely be classified above the level of an interesting toy.

I don't think AI is going to be as easy to give up on as nuclear. Nuclear has some long term/diffuse benefits, but in the short run it's just one among many types of electricity generation. AI is a whole category, not one sub

Eh, I don't think there is much active encroachment happening any longer. Japan is no longer growing into its rural areas so much as receding from them. Also, under certain constructions of the word "territory," (including th

Ah fair point. I don't have a sense of which of those are more verbose.

If anything, it's a little surprising that the Rust code isn't significantly larger because I tend to think of Rust as requiring somewhat more boilerplate than JS.

It's important to get it done reasonably quickly because the disks at the time were ephemeral, so how quickly we could solve the problem effectively limited our rolling restart rate.

In a past life we used OR-Tools for a problem of assigning data shards to serving tasks, where the data shards had heterogenous demands (e.g. some shards were low traffic but demanded sub millisecond latency targets and thus were served fro

I don't think anyone in history has ever achieved a true 10^-7 annual probability of any data loss incident. So they must have been making some kind of per record or per operation claim.

by asdfasgasdgasdg 5mo ago
There is no such thing as a guarantee in life, there are only probabilities. The goal is to make it sufficiently unlikely that data is lost, and to balance that against the cost of doing so. That is where the disparity lies here. Reading ba

10^-7 (loss/record) * 10^8 (record/year) yields 10 data losses per year. If you're even a medium sized business you need a much better than 10^-7 probability of losses.

You can just read the TOS if it is that big of a deal to you. They aren’t that long. Probably twenty minutes of reading. People don’t do that because the terms basically say “you can use the service if you act normal. In the context of prov

The warning was only "transmuting" itself into an error because another team took a dependency in their test on the exact ordering of writes of certain data to a globally shared resource.

Isn't that the same thing that Homebrew does? It only has CI for the last couple of Mac OS X versions. Seems like this is more of an issue with Mac OS X architecture than Go.
