Interesting, thanks for clarifying. I guess the fact that people can counter claim means the ability of someone to truly limit someone else's speech is probably limited, and it's on websites to support that (which I don't thi

The DMCA is a law that restricts the ability of people to make speech. The government is the one doing the restricting, even if the place the speech is being done isn't controlled by the government. The argument you're making is a

Got it, thanks for the reply! It might be interesting if there were a way to represent a part of a transaction to commit as a sort of effect of an RPC. I don't know the details, but I'm aware of a non-public system that does a sim

Out of curiosity, what's the sort of consistency (in the sense of linearizable etc.,.) provided here? If an RPC is handled by some actor, is it guaranteed to have seen all previously accepted messages that completed up to that point? I

That's a lot of leaps for me, but seems like a possible interpretation (certainly better than any I came up with).

To start, your minimum return is 2x, and depending on how many cards of a single color are left at the end, you get a return of 2^N. You could take the summation of those N card returns, times the probability of each, and that must come out

I don't know how I feel about this, but the people that are upset about this seem to be upset for musicians. Which, I don't know how I feel. It feels like the outsourcing of the music industry.

Huh?

Ah, but these aren't the same. The Kelly strategy has zero variance, whereas this strategy likely has very high variance. It would be interesting to do the math and show why they're equal. It seems like you should be able to make

To answer your question, I'd say it's memory safe when it's a part of the runtime. At some point, you're relying on your runtime to be correct, so if it says it does garbage collection then you can rely on it, in the sam

Amusingly, this reminds me sort of about the story of a person who joins a new company only to discover that their programming framework is intricately linked to their version control system.

One thing you need to be careful of when load balancing like this is buggy servers. Let's say you have a bug that makes a server handle requests by immediately failing them. That machine will start to look like it's performing rea

If that was true, why are they now producing shahed drones domestically instead of a homegrown drone?

The above comment doesn't state this explicitly, but bat bites can go unfelt (e.g., if you're sleeping, for instance) so the recommendation if a bat is found inside the house is to keep the bat for rabies testing and see a doctor.

I don't think this is an accurate statement. Consider for instance that the Sinaloa Cartel is currently hiring college students to try and reproduce chemical precursors for the production of Fentanyl. This is something that's prob

As long as you can make an RPC call, anything is doable within 32kb of ram :-)

I largely agree, although I think there's some part of a slippery slope specifically when it comes to government, since you could argue that a government monitoring its citizens is also not malicious since (in a democratic society) the

I think the accidental part would be in the scope. I'm not an expert on these things, but they could have intended to create a self signed cert only valid within the scope of their IT, but accidentally created one from their CA.

I think the parent is saying that if they meant to use the cert only internally (e.g., to monitor employees) then that would arguably not be malicious.

At some point the real tool has to be called, at that point, you can do actual checks that do not rely on the AI output (e.g., store the text that the AI generated and check in code that there was an approval for that text).

I think the canonical sort of approach here is to make them confirm what they're doing. When you delete a GitHub repo for example, you have to type the name of the repo (even though the UI knows what repo you're trying to delete).

I assume your reasoning is something like: if people are already paying out the nose for open AI calls, an extra ten cents to make a human in the loop check probably isn't bad, and realistically speaking ten cents isn't much when

I realize you could probably build this in lisp, but this (by default) seems to be missing the part about jumping back to where the exception was raised, instead of resuming flow control from where the restart was defined, iiuc.

It would be interesting if a language allowed control flow to jump between catches and exceptions with named sort of exceptions. E.g., imagine in this example that the code code throw an invalid index exception, some calling code could catc

It's essentially just another form of energy storage. I don't think there's any deep reason why it is worse than the other methods currently available, it's just not cost competitive. My understanding is that creating hy

If they didn't like their contract, the responsible thing to do would have been to go on strike earlier or quit. Waiting till the moment of maximal pain is just spiteful and done in bad faith. Ultimately, labor unions exist to extract

I imagine they want to be able to let people go without building extensive cases against them. While being let go without a good reason isn't fun, neither is working with toxic people while the company tries to build a case against the
