At the moment, the most dangerous people with guns in US are the ones working for the federal government.

It reminds me of a certain meme gun along these lines. https://www.reddit.com/r/ATBGE/comments/b4d9gy/unicorn_rifle... (Yes, it is a real gun and it shoots real 9mm bullets.)

FCUs are not tracked in US (aside from full auto trigger groups, which however are classified as "machineguns" in their own right). Receivers are tracked.

That was the case like 3 years ago. Things have advanced significantly since then.

I'd also rather live in a high trust society, but that's impossible with the government that we have (and it's not just Trump, although he has certainly turned our slow creep towards authoritarianism into a speedrun).

Well, their job is literally to harass people, and they knew that getting hired.

Many ICE agents are Latino but it doesn't stop them racially profiling other Latinos. When it comes to customs & border, it's more about being "ethnically terrorist", which is more so Middle Eastern than Black in US

Some of us genuinely believe all that "cops are there to help you, so try to be helpful to cops" stuff we were raised on. Right up until the point when you actually try to do it and find out how things really work...

If it's about satisfying a psychological need, then it should be compared as such to satisfying other psychological needs. Like, say, not getting groped by strangers.

Word (you know, the most popular word processor out there) will do that substitution. And on macOS & iOS, it's baked into the standard text input widgets so it'll do that basically everywhere that is a rich text editor.

It's significantly more complex than Java due to the borrow checker and lifetimes in generics.

A 80B MoE model with 3B params per activation is not a competent model regardless of what their cherry-picked benchmarks say. This reminds me of back when every other llama-7b finetune was claiming to be "GPT-4 quality".

It's a matter of community culture. In the Node.js ecosystem, all those tiny packages are actually getting widely used , to the extent that it's hard to draw a line between them and well-established packages (esp. when the latter

Holocaust denial is illegal in France, for one, and Grok did exactly that on several occasions.

It wouldn't be the first time a Musk company knowingly does something illegal. I think as far as Musk is concerned, laws only apply in the "don't get caught" sense.

Speaking as an ex-MSFT employee who was there during the "new leadership" transition, the new leadership is not any less sociopathic than the old one. I'll give you that Satya is more charismatic so he can hide it better than

"kilo" means what people take it to mean in any particular context. In computing, it is overwhelmingly power of two even today, and if you don't use it in this manner you have to clarify to be understood properly.

FWIW I've been running ADP for over a year now, and so far I haven't noticed any problems. iCloud on the web not being available is kind of expected; how would it work with E2EE?

Why? There's no particular reason why a language can't span low-level to high-level. C# is a good example of that: normally you deal with garbage collected objects and references, but if you need to drop down to explicit stack all

Microsoft provides C# LSP for VSCode ( https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dotne... ). The problem is that it's closed source, and its license specifically prohibits its use with anything other than VS

The mistake here is that you assume that Option is a struct. For TypeScript, this is an idiomatic definition of something that is optional though.

So long as you have structurally typed structs (as TypeScript does), you can do stuff like {foo: string} | {bar: string} to the same effect as type constructors if and when you actually need it. At the same time, how often do you really nee
