> indefinitely

According to who? Why do you think this is somehow the case?

The contract between the two countries is only for 1 year, and that doesn't mean everyone will even stay there that long.

In what scenario does indefinite detention make any realistic sense even for the best-case scenario of its intended purpose i.e. rightfully-deported violent criminals?

Do you honestly think the US is actually sending anyone to indefinite detention who has not received a life sentence in court?

I'm not saying what's going on isn't wrong or that there aren't other huge problems with it, but your response to me just seems even more out of touch with reality than the current situation itself.

The biggest problem I personally have with this is the administration's complete lack of empathy. Not once has anybody in the executive branch apologized for wrongly deporting anyone, made any attempt at saying they should be brought back, or that they were going to try, or that they even wanted to try. Instead they're seemingly actively doing everything they can to prevent lifting any useful fingers whatsoever.

It is already an insult. The online social thing is related to the causes of this "loneliness" (it's more like forced isolation).

Just because they are constrained from expressing it, it doesn't mean they do not feel insulted. Inability to represent a feeling is not the same as acceptance. A common mistake.

The "market research" I am referring to is the use of statistics and social profiling, not this conversation or any anecdote. I think those methods are broken.

I've wondered since the start of this thing: why didn't anyone object to labelling MS-13, an ordinary gang, "a terrorist organization"? Especially, since even Trump admitted they did it so that they can go harder after them? I.e. not because they are actual terrorists, but just so they could apply the harsher terrorism laws against them. "We're using 'terrorism' which gives us extra strength. We've done a great job with MS-13, but now we're stepping it up to an even higher level."

> If they have a bad day, simply being a straight white dude ain't gonna save anyone.

This is the thing to remember as the current regime uses this El Salvadorian prison as a beta-testing gulag. We'll soon see more hints that they will be built within our borders, and all actions leading up to that are conditioning the population for acceptance of this idea, especially for the folks that support the regime.

Thing is, even they will not be safe. The rules will never be made clear save for "if you're not with us, you're against us," so people who thought they were being loyal will start getting snatched up along with the rest of the dissenters, agitators and whomever else they don't like.

Google's strategy, traditionally, was basically what you're describing (modulo the "until their net income is 0" part). Because their belief about engineering was if you get all the smart people and give them some creative freedom, they invent Gmail. And Tensorflow. And Kubernetes.

This has changed. But it's worth noting it is a change. Larry and Sergey retained controlling stakes in Google's IPO specifically because they intended to build a company that didn't operate like other companies... In essence, they didn't plan to give two shits about shareholder capital, they expected the money would work itself out if they just kept making brilliant products people wanted.

But, the founders have left and Google is now just another company.

>Unpopular opinion here... If you tread carefully you'll most likely not succeed. I am not American and I know you guys like to sue eachother for putting cats in microwaves and stuff so maybe this is not great opinion to have in America at the current moment.

It's not actually about personal suits, financial advice may fall into financial services regulations and that's regulated by the government of the US, EU, etc. so wherever the company is registered may have issues in addition to the potential of the regulations applying to the individual and not shielded by the company.

I haven't looked into this study but those are populations that generally have a higher level of obesity and also smoking, alcohol & recreational drug use. They also tend to have somewhat lower access to high quality health care. All of which are correlated with increased health issues like lower resistance to infection, less resilience to physical stress, slower recovery times, increased incidence of complications, higher blood pressure, diabetes, etc. And pregnancy is basically a massive, system-wide physical stressor.

My wife is physically fit and super athletic. No smoking, alcohol or drugs before or during pregnancy (as well as zero junk food before or during). And, unsurprisingly, her pregnancy was basically ideal. She had an easier time than any of her friends, but it still kicked her ass - especially the final trimester (fatigue, poor sleep, hormonal swings, etc). She joked it felt like birthing a face hugger from the movie Aliens. Her friends who already had underlying conditions or overall weaker health generally also had the roughest pregnancies, and many of them had various medical complications. They also had higher incidence, severity and duration of post-partum depression which can be a big issue (fortunately, my wife had virtually none). Plus my wife only worked minimally and entirely by choice while having great medical care that was local and which she knew how to fully utilize.

All EV specially in China have received subsidizes. Both swapping and charging have been subsidized at different times in different places. I would say battery swapping has received far less focus then other charging.

Just linking a few articles about limited subsidizes doesn't mean the company wouldn't exists or would be bankrupt if not for subsidizes. And some of the articles don't even specifically mention a lot of money.

First article, 40% subsidize on some stations in a single city. The build most of those stations before this new subsidy. So at best this articles shows that they might get some subsidy in the future.

Second articles, a few cities give out subsidizes for cars with battery swapping. Literally a pilot project that has only recently started. Third article just mentions the same pilot program.

Forth article, small change in regulation to existing subsidizes making it slightly more attractive to have a battery swappable car. Since 2020 regulations about what gets how much subsidy have changed many times over in China. And have been in general reduced by a whole lot as China wanted to get its industry of subsidies.

We are talking about a market of millions vehicles with billions of money put into intensives and infrastructure. With government putting in billions as well. Such as the US with the 7500$ tax credit.

To call them specifically 'heavenly' subsidized is just plane inaccurate, they got some subsidy, like every other EV maker. Swapping has got some funding once in a while, but its far from the primary thing that gets subsidies. The company didn't do swapping because it received the most subsidizes.

That's the same wrong argument people made about Tesla for years. Link to any article about the word 'subsidy' and then claim that the whole business only exists because of that.

Its not at all like hydrogen in California. NIO alone makes more cars then global hydrogen sales.

And just to be clear, I don't even like swapping or think that its a good idea but that it has bankrupt every company that tried it or its only viable because of some massive subsidy (that you fail to prove exists) is completely false. Nio has existed since 2014. Unless you can actually point to a subsidy program, specifically for swapping, that funneled multiple billions of $ into Nio pockets, I'm gone call bullshit.

The generic version in TFA puts the data type allocated alongside the next pointer - no additional allocation needed. The only functional difference is if the zig compiler is not sufficiently advanced to understand it can reorder the fields (hence the alignment question).

The removal scenario is merely specifying that you are passing in ConnectionListNode instead of a Connection. Although maybe it's a good idea to think about how they compose comparatively.

You correctly describe my position, but I'd add that I don't yet see that perfect equality would be more desirable than some small amount of inequality.

Even behind the veil of ignorance I can imagine that, say, a society with a small amount of inequality would have higher average wealth and that most people would be happy with such a system even if, say, 10% of people were worse off than under perfect equality.

(For balance, maybe you could have a "crabs in a barrel" style of enforcement where all of the equal society members equally ensure that nobody becomes richer or poorer than anyone else. See e.g. this old story https://granta.com/the-black-sheep/ )

We need an importer to bring a case challenging the Constitutionality of IEEPA under the non-delegation doctrine [1][2].

“Duties on imports or exports” are Constitutionally “subject to the revision and control of the Congress” [3]. This is one of the rare cases where the Constitution names a branch of government when laying out a power.

OpenAI (and most LLM providers) allow model version pinning for exactly this reason, e.g. in the case of GPT-4o you can specify gpt-4o-2024-05-13, gpt-4o-2024-08-06, or gpt-4o-2024-11-20.

Where did you see this contract? I follow quite a few lawyers in this space who have been asking to see said contract and AFAIK it hasn't been produced. Can you link to it please?

> Do you honestly think the US is actually sending anyone to indefinite detention who has not received a life sentence in court?

Uhh... yes? This person hasn't just not received a life sentence, they weren't even charged.

Numbers for SWE-bench Verified, Aider Polyglot, cost per million output tokens, output tokens per second, and knowledge cutoff month/year:

SWE Aider Cost Fast Fresh Claude 3.7 70% 65% $15 77 8/24 Gemini 2.5 64% 69% $10 200 1/25 GPT-4.1 55% 53% $8 169 6/24 DeepSeek R1 49% 57% $2.2 22 7/24 Grok 3 Beta ? 53% $15 ? 11/24

I'm not sure this is really an apples-to-apples comparison as it may involve different test scaffolding and levels of "thinking". Tokens per second numbers are from here: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/gpt-4o-chatgpt-03-25/pr... and I'm assuming 4.1 is the speed of 4o given the "latency" graph in the article putting them at the same latency.

If you read the last DoJ filing in the Garcia case, they claim the law invalidates orders of withholding for members of FTOs. I do not know if that is true or not, but I'm willing to believe it is.

So your question has been elucidated. They did it so they could invalidate parole or orders of withholding of removal by either labeling immigrants as in MS-13 or forcing them to join by tossing them in jail with gangs and then using it against them. It was a necessary precursor to the deportations.

I really like big deskpads. The bigger the better. Having a big calendar/grid paper sheet right under your keyboard makes it so much more likely for me to pre-plan things because I can sketch faster than I can type.

Here's an idea for someone: have some easy-to-rattle off key combo you can push to record the current state of whatever application is currently focused on screen (what project/files are open in my IDE, what tab is focused in my browser, etc) to a little sqlite instance somewhere. Show a notification with an easy to write down unambiguous ID that auto increments, probably including the date. Like 14APRB or something.

I can jot that down in my notepad. Later on, I can bring that workspace back up using the ID I wrote down, so that way I'm not writing file paths and method names down on paper.

I agree on both naming on stability. However, this wasn't my point.

They still have a mess of models in ChatGPT for now, and it doesn't look like this is going to get better immediately (even though for GPT-5, they ostensibly want to unify them). You have to choose among all of them anyway.

I'd like to be able to choose 4.1.

So AI is in this interesting place because while it seems obvious that it's an amazing, powerful, transformative technology... that actually hasn't materialized at an economic level, yet. Arguably the only place where it has a proven positive impact on productivity is in software development, and even there it's pretty obvious it's not a silver bullet.

I'm not interested so much if or when it will materialize economic value (that gets discussed here ad nauseum) but... how long a runway do you think we have where investors are going to continue to invest based on the promise, before the funding environment does shift? Because it will, eventually. And the LLM industry better have something to show that justifies current valuations or things are going to get very messy.

My fear is that we've entered "too big to fail" territory in which too much of the tech sector has too much to lose to be the first ones to start backing out. But that only means the bubble is going to get that much bigger before it detonates (and takes down half the economy with it.)

A cursory amount of research shows that the average premium for an insurance policy on the open market through the ACA is between $400-$2000 a month depending on options - family status, deductibles etc.

There is also COBRA that lets you stay on your employer’s plan. You have to pay the entire premium. I pay $600 a month now and my employer pays $1200 a month. That’s me + family.

I honestly have no clue what kind of thought process could result in believing that "blonde dancer" is analogous to "dumb Polack." "Blonde dancer" is just not problematic, at all. It literally just means a woman who is a dancer and has blond hair. There are no slurs or insults or even negative connotations to it.

Good point, but how does that relate to, or explain, the decision not to release 4.1 in ChatGPT? If they have a nice post-training pipeline to make 4o "nicer" to talk to, why not use it to fine-tune the base 4.1 into e.g. chatgpt-4.1-latest?

Awesome, thank you for posting. As someone who regularly uses 4o mini from the API, any guesses or intuitions about the performance of Nano?

I'm not as concerned about nomenclature as other people, which I think is too often reacting to a headline as opposed to the article. But in this case, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to understand nano as categorically different than many in terms of what it means as a variation from a core model.

dude forget eating and sleeping man, my biggest concern is pooping. I need atleast 1 gallon of water everytime I hit the washroom to clean myself as I require portable bidets to clean the area in squat position thanks to some crazy medical history. How do you manage such a condition and travelling with the fact that I also need to drink atleast half a gallon of water, piss 10 times a day at the minimum. I am not exaggerating even once bit. Seriously, how do you manage traveling with this kinda stuff
by zoogeny | 2025-04-14 17:31:33+00:00
Yes, but then you have to add that yourself to every prompt. It would be nice to tell your LLM provider just once "here is a tool you can use" along with a description of the API documentation so that you could use it in a bunch of different chat's without having to remind it every single time. That way, when you want to use the tool you can just ask for the tool without having to provide that detail again and again.

Also, it would be kind of cool if you could tell a desktop LLM client how it could connect to a program running on your machine. It is a similar kind of thing to want to do, but you have to do a different kind of processes exec depending on what OS you are running on. But maybe you just want it to ultimately run a Python script or something like that.

MCP addresses those two problems.

I'm torn. The step from C to any c++ is big. Now if you want anybody to be able to use your code they need to be using c++ or you have to provide a C api anyway. On the other hand, manually implementing vtables is annoying. Ive been sticking to pure C and haven't been bothered enough to go back to any c++ yet (about 6 months on my current project). I mostly only miss templated containers so far.

The tricky bit about the NOAA affiliated survey was that the debrief was mandatory. The underlying justification for the whole study was that they were finding a higher rate of "I experienced harassment" in the debrief vs. in anonymous surveys and via criminal complaints and they wanted to understand why, and how to apply a correction to the anonymous surveys to address the manifold negative pressures on reporting.

> Presumably someone who's been the victim of sexual harassment or assault would be more inclined to participate in a time consuming survey to have their voice heard.

If you read the paper, you'd see that for certain kinds of incidents, this is true. If its especially egregious harassment or physical assault, those tend to get reported more often, even through regular channels. But if its just the bog-standard hostile-workplace stuff that we all have to attend annual seminars about, the reporting rate is very low, because the victims rarely feel like anything will be done about it. And its rare that anything's done about it, because the leadership doesn't have firm enough evidence that its a widespread enough problem to even do something about. What I'm saying is that even in the light of that NSF report, the Antarctic leadership are doing the same calculus you are and saying "well, it seems pretty endemic, but we don't really have any specifics". To which I say "well, then collect some specifics".

Also, re: data from military personnel, I don't have a clear idea how to address that, except to say that if military personnel are harassing civilian staff, or vice versa, that's a pretty serious problem irrespective of location, and the DoD maintains an office specifically to address that for all situations where military personnel regularly work alongside civilian personnel. So they, too, should be doing the same thing.

I know some people who worked on the NOAA Alaska fisheries study, and they were using pretty widely accepted methods for estimating e.g. "bycatch" - the incidental catching of undesired species during commercial fishing operations, because its impossible to have 100% coverage in the moment of all fishers everywhere. In general, compliance with the Endangered Species Act is evaluated via surveys that are processed and extrapolated using these same methods. The reason the paper even got published was because it turns out that those methods are pretty novel for e.g. human bycatch.

If you look at the figures from the paper, its pretty clear that the stated variance is because of year-over-year variation, rather than absolute uncertainty of the method (which checks out, if Ass-Grab-Greg or whoever finally got fired in 2016, you'd expect the harassment rate to drop in 2017, but you can't just ignore 2016 and prior when reporting for the entire interval).

Nice writeup, but it's kinda meaningless to consider import statements when comparing LOC as they're written for you in both C# and Kotlin. Also, just because the default code style doesn't like glob imports doesn't mean you have to roll with it - Kotlin isn't like Go where there's One True Style and everyone is expected to follow it. You can just turn on import globbing and optimization. That would presumably cause LOC to be much more similar.

Serotonin can decrease IL-17 production, and IL-17 is highly elevated in depressed patients. Inflammation is elevated in depressed patients more generally, but baseline IL-17 levels specifically appear to be a good predictor for antidepressant response[1]. Anti-depressants are pretty much universally anti-neuroinflammatory.

Are there any benchmarks or someone who did tests of performance of using this long max token models in scenarios where you actually use more of this token limit?

I found from my experience with Gemini models that after ~200k that the quality drops and that it basically doesn't keep track of things. But I don't have any numbers or systematic study of this behavior.

I think all providers who announce increased max token limit should address that. Because I don't think it is useful to just say that max allowed tokens are 1M when you basically cannot use anything near that in practice.
