I'm doing CedarCure. You're required to not exercise or bath/shower for 2h after taking, which is fairly difficult in the morning, so I asked the doc if I could do it in the evening instead (despite explicit instructions to do it in the morning). The doc said it was fine, confirmed by the pharmacist.

I should know better by now than to trust doctors to act based on research and not gut feeling, but I hope this doesn't mean the last year of taking it was a wash...

> This isn't some new frontier that needs exploring, its well understood at this point

This is where I started to think this was trolling and that it would soon devolve into overly satirical commentary to prove the opposite point. I was surprised it didn't do this. I'm very interested in this defeatist mentality, welp we know it's impractical we should stop trying. It's not only ignoring the advancements that manned space exploration has brought but seemingly ignores how advancements are done in general for all of human existence. This mindset would have us living in caves after a few hardships.

You could argue we know enough now but this overestimates how much humans know especially with respect to space

But that's the game that most IoT stuff plays. They offer some utility that makes them worthwhile, but they exfiltrate your data to marketeers and even government entities (such as Ring's partnership with law enforcement).

Maybe I'm old-school, but I like to have some control over what's going in and out of my network. DoH seems to exist mainly to circumvent that control.

Yeah this touches on an issue that makes it very difficult to have a discussion in public about AI capabilities. Any specific test you talk about, no matter how small … if the big companies get wind of it, it will be RLHF’d away, sometimes to the point of absurdity. Just refer to the old “count the ‘r’s in strawberry” canard for one example.

My understanding is that remote tower ATC is something that had to happen at that airport due to geographic constraints rather than some kind of next step for ATC in general. Given a choice between being able to physically look out the window and not, from what I understand being able to see out is always preferable.

The rest I don't know enough to comment on, so I'll assume you're correct.

So this company based in the US which provides internet services is not an internet service provider.

Given that they are funded and run by the same forces american parastical capitalism provides I would trust them as much as I'd trust google or alphabet.

I'll continue to route my DNS to quad-nine over mullvad over my specifically chosen ISP, and everything on my network does that as I can easily intercept and redirect udp/53.

The weak point are treacherous devices which use DoH which is a constant fight to block.

Thank you for your kind words. I added a video progress bar to VOD content today, you can tap or swipe to navigate through the video. As for live IPTV content there is no progress bar yet; I'm still getting acquainted with the intricacies of IPTV protocol and what video seeking looks like in a live video streaming app. If you pause the video or otherwise get out of sync with a livestream the "LIVE" button will change to "GO LIVE", if you click it you'll be synced with live stream.

You're shifting the frame. The original question was about cumulative deaths, direct or indirect, linked to systems like socialism or capitalism, not about which one produced more GDP growth. Pointing to poverty reduction doesn't erase the structural harms capitalism has caused or the millions who've died from preventable conditions under regimes that prioritized market logic over human need.

You can't ethically "net out" human deaths with economic gains. That treats lives as statistical noise in a profit-loss spreadsheet. It’s not just bad morality, it’s bad history too.

Not the OP, but in practice, the comments that tend to help Claude tend to be very different from what helps humans. With humans, I'll generally focus on the why.

Our style guide for humans is about 100 lines long, with lines like "Add a ! to the end of a function name if and only if it mutates one of its inputs". Our style guide for Claude is ~500 lines long, and equivalent sections have to include many examples like "do this, don't do this" to work.

I wonder if other basic processes could be at play here like when patients go to the bathroom. If you do this in the morning they may be more likely to not need that for a while while in the evening they may do that immediately. I'm not saying this is the mechanism, just pointing out that there are a lot of timing dependent things in a person's schedule that could be a factor here. It is a great thing to point out though. I hope a lot more research goes into the idea of timing and integrating medication into a schedule most effectively.

I always have seen mid-day appointments as also a luxury for those doing well (at least professionally/financially). If you have to go first thing in the morning, it's often because your boss wants you in relatively early and won't let you take time mid-day. If you're in a position where you can go in at 2PM and not have to sacrifice sleep to do so, that feels healthier.

Given the highly-evident strong circular nature of the body, a hypothesis that it has something to do with that seems highly likely, certainly worth following up on.

> Oh, and finally, 5 minutes is still slower than filling up a car's tank.

For most people charging speed only matters on long trips.

For normal day to day driving those who cannot do their charging at home will often use chargers at their destinations. For example 3 of the 4 grocery stores I shop at have chargers in their parking lots (2 have level 2 charges, and the other has 150 kW DC chargers). If I didn't have home charging I could charge while doing my grocery shopping, and so as long as it finishes by the time I've finished shopping the time doesn't matter.

Even if there are no destination chargers they can use, so charging does involve a special trip, at the rate that BYD demoed (262 miles added in 5 minutes) a typical driver in the US would need 5-15 minutes every week or so.

On long trips generally people want breaks every few hours for the restroom, to stretch, or get food and drinks. At the charging speed BYD demonstrated a large fraction of people on long trips could do all their charging during those breaks, with the charging taking place while they are using the restroom, stretching, or buying their food and drink.

Sure. My point is that blocking DoH wouldn't stop that though.

> Maybe I'm old-school, but I like to have some control over what's going in and out of my network.

What if you were a public Wi-Fi operator? You definitely shouldn't have control or insight into the traffic to and from other people's computers and phones.

> DoH seems to exist mainly to circumvent that control.

No, DoH is purely a good thing, since the evil use cases like above can happen even without it.

Of course if you are creating a new object and you have an atomic handle to it, it is trivial to solve. Like, having immutable objects solves a lot of these problems.

But what I'm quite obviously talking about is a Rust struct with 3 atomic fields. Just because I can safely race on any of its fields, doesn't mean that the whole struct can safely be shared, yet it will be inferred to be Sync.

> At Carnegie Mellon, for example, an NCO can be obtained by anyone who claims to be “the recipient of persistent unwanted or harassing contact by another student” and includes “indirect contact through third parties.”

> NCOs requested by one student after her roommate allegedly stole her bagels, by participants in a group project gone awry, by members of rival student organizations caught up in a dispute and by aggrieved parties in a social-media skirmish.

So you just have to make something up. I am not too surprised there. It's not like prestigious University students somehow select only honest and moral students, they'll get all kinds of characters.

What is surprising is the administrators. Nobody thought of this potential for abuse. Were they so naive?

I wonder if being in the same course means a "contact". If that's the case, the most "enterprising" students could be using these to simply block students from the same courses. Sometimes registrations are competitive and there are not enough slots. How can you ensure you have a spot? -- file a bunch of NCOs against people in the same major and then as soon as it comes time to sign up, tell the administration to kick them out because of NCOs. Now what if the NCOs are mutual? Things can get interesting. Who is forced to drop out of the class then? Maybe flip a coin, or each NCO gets a score for "gravity". The more grave on wins and force the other party to yield.

This article is knocking down a very expansive claim that most serious (ie: not vibe-coding) developers aren't making. Their point is that LLM agents have not yet reached the point where they can finish a complicated job end-to-end, and that if you want to do a completely hands-off project, where only the LLM generates any code, it takes a lot of prompting effort to accomplish.

This seems true, right now!

But in building out stuff with LLMs, I don't expect (or want) them to do the job end-to-end. I've ~25 merged PRs into a project right now (out of ~40 PRs generated). Most merged PRs I pulled into Zed and cleaned something up. At around PR #10 I went in and significantly restructured the code.

The overall process has been much faster and more pleasant than writing from scratch, and, notably, did not involve me honing my LLM communications skills. The restructuring work I did was exactly the same kind of thing I do on all my projects; until you've got something working it's hard to see what the exact right shape is. I expect I'll do that 2-3 more times before the project is done.

I feel like Kenton Varda was trying to make a point in the way they drove their LLM agent; the point of that project was in part to record the 2025 experience of doing something complicated end-to-end with an agent. That took some doing. But you don't have to do that to get a lot of acceleration from LLMs.

> So who is that subsidizing now?

Uh sure, with this change software would subsidize other R&D. Prior to the change anybody not eligible for Section 174 was subsidizing Section 174 recipients.

Subsidizing R&D is probably a good idea but let's call a spade a spade here. Additionally, subsidizing small business is good policy because they're by the numbers job creators while large businesses are job destroyers.

I liked the response overall, the only thing I find strange is the importance of training new devs. I was never trained, depending on what you consider training to be. Perhaps my homeschooled education, which was mostly being handed textbooks and told to learn what's inside from my hands off mother, shaped my approach to learning. If you have the curiosity, interest, and will power to do programming, you will be successful, however suboptimal or inefficient your approach to learning is.

An issue I see with junior devs is their unwillingness to dig in and stay in the weeds of some hard shit to figure out. To me, that's where the learning happens and current LLMs aren't going to figure it out for you. If you keep at it, you're going to build those synaptic connections in your brain, which makes figuring things out easier over time.

AFAIK the range benefits you'd get from a smaller electrical motor are minimal, and in the cost of a vehicle the bigger motor doesn't add a huge cost.

Also, a bigger motor can be more reliable, if you're not running it at full bore you've probably got better heat dissipation so it will last longer.

The other issue is people's addiction for large vehicles; bigger vehicle means bigger battery means more weight means more power needed to move everything. As an example a Blazer EV weighs 25-35% more than the ICE version. Take that with the comments about reliability, it counter-intuitively makes a lot of sense that the Blazer EV has a 500hp motor vs the 200-300HP in the ICE.

As far as 'acceleration' itself, Acceleration tends to be more of a factor of torque curve. Electric motors tend to give lots of torque very quick... I accidentally chirp the tires on my Ford Maverick in a year more times than I was ever able to do even trying in my WRX. [0]

[0] - Sure, the WRX is all wheel drive but it's also a good 450 pounds lighter than the Mav.

Having lived in both India, Peru, and the USA I agree.

I would argue that it’s either not illegal, or not enforced, on more of the population of the world if taking a wider view approach.

Apologies if my initial comment was US centric, I was replying really to the “most U.S. states” section as that was easier to quantify and reply to.

No, I am not confused. :-) I am just trying to help you understand some basics of numerical analysis.

> What you do not understand is that this is the same thing.

It is not the same thing.

You can express an analytic function f(x) in a convergent (on [-1, 1]) Chebyshev series: f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n T_n(x). You can then truncate it keeping N+1 terms, giving a degree N polynomial. Call it f_N.

Alternatively, you can interpolate f at at N+1 Chebyshev nodes and use a DCT to compute the corresponding Chebyshev series coefficients. Call the resulting polynomial p_N.

In general, f_N and p_N are not the same polynomial.

Furthermore, computing the coefficients of f_N is much more expensive than computing the coefficients of p_N. For f_N, you need to evaluate N+1 integral which may be quite expensive indeed if you want to get digits. For p_N, you simply evaluate f at N+1 nodes, compute a DCT in O(N log N) time, and the result is the coefficients of p_N up to rounding error.

In practice, people do not compute the coefficients of f_N, they compute the coefficients of p_N. Nevertheless, f_N and p_N are essentially as good as each other when it comes to approximation.

> Your ISP also just knows your IP address. They may have some information linking that IP address to a person, but so does Cloudflare, which does a MITM on half the internet and thereby knows not just your identity but the things inside the TLS connections you make.

But then Cloudflare has your info even without DoH, so in that case, it's strictly more private to use DoH.

> So change the system defaults instead of having the browsers disrespect the system settings that may well have been purposely set by the user.

Just like you said about running DoT over port 443: this is a totally reasonable thing that would solve the problem, but it isn't how things work today, and unless/until it does happen, I think browsers defaulting to using secure settings when the system settings are insecure is the better option. (Especially since users who purposely don't want DoH can just manually configure their browser too in that case.)

In my (admittedly lay) understanding of the issue, it boils down to software maintenance being taxed as research and development.

In general, costs for running a business (buying inventory) are immediately deductible, while establishing new business (building factories) has to be amortized, since the factory can be used for several years.

In software, the line is a bit more blurry - coding creates new IP (research), but is also required to keep many software companies running (maintenance) by e.g. fixing bugs and updating infrastructure. Here, the IRS has decided that all software development counts as research.

This would kinda make sense if you could hire programmers for a single year to develop software, fire them and then sell the software for 5 years, but I think that's rarely the case.

I recently launched FlowTrack — a lightweight AI tool that helps small business owners manage inventory by simply uploading their invoices (PDFs, images, etc). The system auto-extracts product names, quantities, prices, and suppliers, then organizes it into a clean dashboard so you can track stock in real-time.

It’s built for people who are still using spreadsheets (or nothing at all) to manage inventory. No setup required, and it works out of the box for small retailers, resellers, e-commerce sellers, and wholesalers.

You can check it out at https://useflowtrack.io Free beta for early users Would love feedback from anyone here — especially small biz owners or indie hackers!

Let me know what you think, what you'd improve, or if you’ve built something similar. Happy to answer questions.

Thanks!

"The role of the operating system" is whatever we decide it is. The operating system exists to serve applications, not the other way around. This isn't an aesthetic thing; it's an engineering choice. Moving parts (or all) of the networking stack into userland is often better engineering, for the reasons I just supplied, any of which I'm happy to go further into.

Yes, the site and the video are complete vaporware. But from the examples, it sounds they are targeting architectural and RTL-level design. There's no indication that they are trying to replace the physical design flow. So it wouldn't have any bearing on what foundry fyoure able to use to fab your chips. Anyone using this would be in a position no different than if they had hand-written their RTL.

I don't think we need any way to distinguish these situations any more than we needed to preserve the non-ephemeral key exchanges in the jump from TLS 1.2 to TLS 1.3, which were opposed for the same reason. You can control which computers you allow on your network, and allow only computers which give you endpoint monitoring. The 2025 TCP/IP protocol stack should not be going out of its way to give network operators more visibility into what applications are doing.

> But then Cloudflare has your info even without DoH, so in that case, it's strictly more private to use DoH.

They have your info when the site you're accessing uses Cloudflare, which means they know more than enough to identify you.

Now you're telling them when you access a site that doesn't use Cloudflare.

> Just like you said about running DoT over port 443: this is a totally reasonable thing that would solve the problem, but it isn't how things work today, and unless/until it does happen, I think browsers defaulting to using secure settings when the system settings are insecure is the better option.

How do you get them to stop doing it once a better solution exists?

> Especially since users who purposely don't want DoH can just manually configure their browser too in that case.

This is the problem with doing it this way. Suppose I don't want DoH in my house, how do I get rid of it? Configure six different browsers on each of the dozens of devices in my family and hope I didn't miss any?

It needs something in the nature of "change this DHCP option on your internet gateway" is the issue, but that thing needs to be a universal standard that everything respects.

> It's hard to imagine any reason for Cloudflare to do it other than because they want to analyze DNS traffic, and then it's in a much more centralized location than to be distributed across every network and ISP.

Isn't bot/DDoS protection a very obvious reason for Cloudfare to do it?

Any normal user agent will make a DNS request shortly before requesting a page from that domain. A normal user agent will also request the page from the IP returned by the DNS server.

Attempting to connect to a server IP hosted by Cloudfare from a client IP that has not recently received that server IP in a DNS response seems like an obvious signal for their bot/DDoS mitigation system.

To your point about charging speeds, a battery with a max charge rate of 1MW could pull 350kW (common enough in the USA) for 10-90% in nearly all conditions. Being able to add a 250 miles of range in 10 minutes in all conditions would definitely be close enough to a gas car for me. If I could buy this today in the USA it would be a game changer for road trips.

> It hasn't caused me any issues yet [...]

Ugh, I ran into this earlier this year when creating an Airbnb account. I tried registering with "airbnb_[randomcode]@[mydomain.com]" and was confused when account creation would error out with an unhelpful error message (don't remember what exactly). After checking with multiple browsers to make sure it's not some browser or uBlock Origin problem, I suspected it might have something to do with the "airbnb" in the alias. Sure enough, I created some temporary alias without "airbnb" in it and ... it worked. I wasn't willing to tolerate their sh— "load of crap" though, so once the account was created I tried to change the email back to "airbnb_[randomcode]@[mydomain.com]" and ... it worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m pissed at Lenovo for making the perfect machine for a home server, and then cheaping out by not adding the $0.50 M.2 connector on the back of the board. 2xM.2 + 1xSATA requires upgrading to “Tall” Intel NUCs if you want 3 discs.
