It requires GitHub because it forks the submission repo to keep its own immutable copy. It's just using GitHub as a costless datastore. It was probably just done that way to keep things fast and simple and get something out there as qu

What's the availability story? Docker Hub has pretty severe rate-limiting even if you're not an anonymous user.

A "genuine ownership stake in the AI compute that's making things happen" sounds to me like corpo-speak for "taxpayer-funded bailout of my unprofitable company". After all, if everyone has a stake in AI, and AI cras

This isn't a binary distinction -- safe vs unsafe. Things you put in your body have a risk profile. The risk profile of raw milk is much higher than pasteurized milk, regardless of how hygienic you think you're being. Cows step in

Yup. I never even use activate, even though that's what you find in docs all over the place. Something about modifying my environment rubs me the wrong way. I just call ``./venv/bin/python driver.py`` (or ``./venv&#

In addition to what others have mentioned, it also just makes it easier to come back later to a code base and make changes, especially refactoring. In many cases you don't even really have to add many type hints to get benefits from it

Just run the code that provisions the infrastructure? Sandboxing is the least of your problems. You would need to fully mock out all function executions and their results to have a hope to properly execute the code let alone govern what&#x2

I agree somewhat with the proposition that YAML is annoying for configuring something like a workflow engine (CI systems) or Kubernetes. But having it defined in YAML is actually preferable in an enterprise context. It makes it trivial to r

Are we already forgetting the Lebanon pager incident? It only happened last year. It seems perfectly rational to question the home country of a spyware company (of all things) when that country has in recent memory infected the supply chain

I think people should be highly skeptical of articles like this, even without knowing anything about the subject in question. No byline/author. No citations/links to the studies in question. Confirmation of preconceived notions th

I'm not saying any schmuck could have done that. I'm saying that the engineers and managers at Apple (to use your example) are just as (if not more) responsible for the success than Jobs. Those lower-level engineers and managers a

> The only difference was leadership. That's quite the leap though, and is just confusing correlation and causation. Maybe the previous leadership was simply getting in the way of the engineers and managers that had the good ideas.

Presumably the superior solution is the product that bears the same name as this blog post. Which I take it is in the process of being released since I can't find many technical details about it.

That builders can't construct housing in whatever form-factor they want and whatever part of a municipality they want might be a problem. But the analysis of why these kinds of restrictions exist, to my mind, is not correct. Do niche i

I'll just note that this seems entirely predictable. So much so that I can't help but see it as purposeful. The federal court system itself only has about 25,000 employees. SCOTUS has 9 judges plus a couple dozen clerks and other

In the sense that LIDAR can detect some things that visible light sensors cannot, it can make up (in some respects) for the lack of those other capabilities. It's not meant to replace them per se, but to provide another dimension of de

I've never understood this argument. When I drive, I'm relying on more than just vision. I'm relying on sound, tactile feedback, an understanding of traffic law, an understanding of human behavior on the road (some of which i

This is decidedly not equivalent to those things, even roughly. Interpreting a statute (which by the way this Supreme Court has expressly limited, which is ironic given your comment) is quite different from interpreting an amendment to the

What you say may be true with respect to breaking laws. But illegal immigration is one of those relatively small infractions, and only now is there some sudden insistence to prosecute all of them and deport them. So this is a self-made prob

They are bothered by it. But the anti-liberal, extra-judicial, law-ignoring method this administration is levying against Harvard is also being levied against many, many other progressive priorities and interests worth even more than taxes

That's fine, but allegations in a law suit aren't prima facie evidence of anything. Especially when the text of that law suit is filled with political invective (calling protesting students and faculty "uncontrolled antisemit

You linked an anonymous Reddit post and some European blog post with dubious credibility. Just because someone states as a matter of fact that these people are "pro-Hamas" doesn't make it a matter of fact.

The same individual making these legal threats has appeared on Russian state media over 100 times.

He allegedly supports Hamas? Is that in the article somewhere? It seems to me people are simply making things up to justify what seems pretty unjustifiable.

I don't think you have the facts of the matter or the context right here. The government absolutely does not have the right to expel legal permanent residents without due process. And 'keeping their mouths shut' and pretendin

"Blue states" are not airgapped enclaves, completely distinct and separate from other states. And there's a lot of diversity just within those states. The approach you're suggesting is not remotely viable. People who vac

Your first link goes to a 2023 arXiv pre-print that never landed in any journals as far as I can tell (could be wrong though). And there seems to be some controversy about whether Kerr's math shows what he says it shows. This is the da

This whole situation really goes to show that both the judiciary and the legislature need to be greatly expanded -- probably by 10 fold or more. Even if you greatly reduce the size of the federal government. The executive employs approximat
