Though I suppose you could also queue it.

If he loses Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump (the Tariffs case in front of SCOTUS) then he has no power with which to negotiate. Because, as you suggest, his military is unwilling to execute the unlawful orders to seek conquest without a declaration of war.

So that might indicate some of the apparent urgency to make this happen now before SCOTUS rules.

Unfortunately a lot of damage is already done, even if we walk it all back our allies will no longer trust us - nor should they.

I've only just started using it but the ralph wiggum / ralph loop plugin seems like it could be useful here.

If the spec and/or tests are sufficiently detailed maybe you can step back and let it churn until it satisfies the spec.

Would that it were so easy to blame the flyover states. Almost half the people who cast votes voted for this - and at the same time voted for the status quo legislators who opt not to keep him in check.

They are "freeloading" indeed but in this case it is a valuable indicator that it should be physically compatible with many add-ons/attachments that are compatible with the Raspberry Pi.

I wonder -- how does this thing compare against the Rubik Pi [1]?

At 39C3, Cory Doctorow suggests that USA "renegotiating" trade deals means that EU et al are not only in a great position to abandon their DMCA-alike legislation, but they're motivated to bring about new industry in designing and selling ways to circumvent anti-consumer tech.

This kind of competition happens in other areas of academic pursuits too. Is that strictly a bad thing?

The bad thing about UT's policy is that it encourages well-off students to move to a less-competitive school district (usually rural) in order to improve their chances.

For a lucky few of us, our job is something we might do unpaid if we had our needs addressed already. It's fun!

I like travel, I like relaxing at home. But I don't know if it's what I'd want to do all the time. I like having some pull, driving me towards a greater goal.

The only way to solve problems like this IMO is to price in the externalities. Tax fossil fuels for the damage they do, in order to reveal their true cost. Then they will never look like the most affordable option, because they're not.

> Corporations already pay income tax, as do the investors in those corporations.

Of course!

> Just because productivity increases

Yeah I guess I'm taking a leap here where robots replace human manual labor and artificial intelligence replaces intellectual labor and there's no role for human labor anymore.

What's the just thing to do in this case? In my opinion, it's not "well we should really be committed to the existing rules because it's worked out well so far." If humans exit the workforce, the way governments work should change to answer such a significant change.

Taxation is a response to the economy. So if the economy changes, so should taxation.

Also - if corporations succeed in becoming completely independent of labor, it will happen regardless of taxation. We shouldn't say to corporations "you must hire people or else we won't have a tax base". We should say to corporations "since you no longer require humans, we will change the way taxes are applied."

A century or more ago, they could see how rapidly productivity was increasing. It's only increasing yet faster now. Economists then predicted people would have enormous leisure time. While they have significantly more, it's not like we have abandoned work. Instead those productivity benefits go increasingly to shareholders and not labor.

So we will soon face a precipice that will disrupt the status quo. And the people will eventually triumph because collectively we are the governed.

I love the concept of cryptocoins. But in practice, there are some enormous hazards that make it not worthwhile IMO. This is just one such hazard, but by now we've seen several flavors of "this custody/storage mechanism failed to securely store some wealth." If securing it yourself, it's so easy to mishandle and either destroy your wealth or have it stolen. If delegating it to an "expert" you risk the custodial agent falling victim to theft/exit scam/ineptitude. Does any third party insure these agents?

Having a government-insured bank deposit means that I've never had to think about this in my lifetime. It's a problem that I don't need.

> With this information, the necessity of code-models feels unecessary [sic]. Why trigger the cost for every callsite when we can do-so piecemeal as necessary with the opportunity to use profiles to guide us on which methods to migrate to thunks.

Does the linker have access to the same hotness information that the compiler uses during PGO? Well -- presumably it could, even if it doesn't now. But it would be like a heuristic with a hotness threshold? Do linkers "do" heuristics?

> What other strategies can we pursue?

You can use thunks/trampolines. lld can make them for some architectures, presumably also for x86_64. Though I don't know why it didn't in your case.

But, like the large code model it can be expensive to add trampolines, both in icache performance and just execution if a trampoline is in a particularly hot path.

> the government has been for sale for a long time

The government has been under significant influence of corporations for a long time: this is true. But now bribes are being accepted unabashedly. Presumably, hopefully, this won't last beyond the current administration. To equate the two is dishonest.

> I don't understand how market regulators allow this.

The US government is literally for sale. Businesses know that this window is limited and are executing antitrust manuvers left and right while they can.

> important first step in reigning in AI police reports.

That should be 'reining in'. "Reign" is -- ironically - - what monarchs do.

`ps uaxf` gives me pretty similar output.

> some mechanisms to constrain the search space somewhat.

Your perspective has the unfortunate bias of being posed at the end of a long stream of evolution that happened to emerge with an intelligence far superior from other living things.

> Considering that the experiment is run at planet-scale over billions of years

It's not just planet-scale, it's universe-scale. Lots of planets conduct the experiment, ours just happens to have resulted in intelligence.

> It's hard to believe that it's truly just random "bit-flips".

Mutations introduce randomness but beneficial traits can be selected for artificially, compounding the benefits.

If someone set a bomb using a speech recognition algorithm looking for specific elements of political speech, and I knowingly detonated it with that kind of political speech, would the act of my political speech be protected speech?

Is the act of shouting "fire!" in a crowded theater protected speech?

Surely there should be some limits on what constitutes protected speech.

There is! ACM grants several awards for scientists and more.

One such award is the Turing Award [1], given "for contributions of lasting and major technical importance to computer science."

Nagle's algorithm is just a special case of TCP worst case latency. Packet loss and congestion also cause significant latency.

If you care about latency, you should consider something datagram oriented like UDP or SCTP.

Is that really the case? This summer there was "Frontier AI performance becomes accessible on consumer hardware within a year" [1] which makes me think it's a mistake to discount the open weights models.

But doesn't it need to have such free usage in order to overcome image problems? Referring to itself as a Nazi [1][2] for example.

It's very likely that VPNs like this are not CPU-bound, even on somewhat whimpy CPUs. I'd wager even some microcontrollers could sling 500megabits/sec around without trouble.

> Absolutely none of these forms of naming have any way to correlate between them.

I've found that -- as of a ~decade ago, at least, ark.intel.com had a really good way to cross-reference among codenames / SKUs / part numbers / feature set/specs. I've never seen errata there but they might be. Also, I haven't used it in a long time so it could've gotten worse.
