As if I needed a reason to not read The Atlantic. What in the world is that article even about given the title and subtitle? It's behind a paywall. I can't imagine that the author has zero marine mammal experience, which seems to be a common theme amongst The Atlantic authors (knowing little about that which they write about).

That paragraph you quoted is pretty hyperbolic. Many orcas hunt live and dangerous animals for food. Their prey can seriously injure and even kill them. Because orcas are tight family units with several generations of females and males in the same pod who never leave the pod and because of their intelligence, orcas engage in teaching the younger orcas and each other. So this can very easily look like tortue when it's in fact how orcas train each other to work together. They will also share food readily between each other, so this is why it will also appear to be toying with food.

Yes, there is no doubt that orcas will also legimitaely play with food, but even then, it's a human judgement on a wild animal that can't go pick out meat in a box that comes from an animal raised and slaughtered in a cage.

I'm sure the failure rates are blown out of proportion, I agree with that.

But the fact of the matter is that Nvidia has shifted from a consumer business to b2b, and they don't even give a shit about pretending they care anymore. People take beef with that, understandably, and when you couple that with the false marketing, the lack of inventory, the occasional hardware failure, missing ROPs, insane prices that nobody can afford and all the other shit that's wrong with these GPUs, then this is the end result.

I use:

VPN so constantly changing ip.

Tor browser for everyday browsing (has no script preinstalled). So onion provides double Vpn. Regularly closed down so history cleared.

Safari in private mode and lockdown mode for when tor won't work (tor ip blocked/hd video that is too slow to stream on tor). Safari Isolation in private mode is excellent, you can use two tabs with, say emails, and neither will know other is logged in.

Safari non private for sites I want available and in sync across devices.

Firefox in permanent private mode with ublock origin for when safari lockdown mode causes issues. (Bizarely Firefox containers doesn't work in private so no isolation across tabs).

Chromium for logged into Google stuff.

Chrome for web development.

Plus opt out for everything possible inc targeted ads.

I rarely see ads of anything I would want to buy, and VPN blocks most of it at its DNS.

Beyond that, anything else would be too much effort for me.

The advertising companies I'm sure know I am not susceptible to impulse buy on ads, I research and seek vfm so not really their target.

In the 1980s maybe a course correction was needed to help capitalism. But it's over corrected by 30%. I'm not knocking corporate america or capitalism in absolute terms. I am saying customers have lost power... whether it's phone trees, right to fix, a lack of accountability (2008 housing crisis), the ability to play endless accounting games to pay lower taxes plus all the more mundane things ... it's gotten out of whack.

If you have ever read the “7 habits of successful people”, you would have heard about working within your “circle of influence” which is usually smaller than “your circle of concern”.

I get it, I have worked at startups where I had the ear of CTO and could guide architecture basically how I wanted. But even I knew my circle of influence didn’t extend to how they do business.

I appreciate your skepticism.

> by selling the "the cure" on a newsletter basis and using organic growth to make more money.

I am not selling anything, the information from what is happening -> to how to recover (if it is relevant to you) is and will be freely available on this substack. It is not paywalled and I'm not intending for it to be.

Additionally where are you quoting "the cure" from? I will be sharing information for people to use to self assess if it applies to them. Recovery from chronic pain is rarely simple as your quote implies - instead it requires daily concentrated effort.

This is a valid point and I'll see how I can integrate it into future pieces, even if it's just collaborating with (legitimate) researchers. Thanks.

Something to understand is until yesterday no one knew I was in this space. Me DM'ing a researcher and asking them to vet my writing would likely have at best resulted in them letting me know they're busy. That likely isn't the case anymore.

Happy to discuss this in more depth. I don't see which part is comparable to snakeoil.

I agree. Sometimes it feels like we’re going thorough a conservative age where people are trying to hold on to as much as they possibly can from the distant past, even when it wasn’t really much of anything in its time.

It also seems like the past is being romanticized out of all proportion. I’ve lived in a few countries now, and it’s funny how far off the mark people are in their perception of places I’ve spent many years living in and still visit regularly. There’s no way people can have such a faulty perception of different places in current times, but be more accurate when looking more than a generation or two into the past.

Your comment warrants a longer, more insightful reply than I can provide, but I still feel compelled to say that I get the same feeling from o3. Colder, somewhat robotic and unhelpful. It's like the extreme opposite of 4o, and I like neither.

My weapon of choice these days is Claude 4 Opus but it's slow, expensive and still not massively better than good old 3.5 Sonnet

It would be interesting to study coronial findings/records - I don’t have the time (or even expertise) to do so properly - to understand to what extent recent fatal incidents have been due to being so unprepared (or unlucky) that they lacked the means to contact the authorities for help versus the authorities were unable to promptly send any due to resource limits (or bureaucratic ineptitude). I suspect the former is (especially nowadays) much more common than the latter, but of course I could be wrong-such a study could turn this discussion from a difference of opinion/perspective into something much more objective.

I watched the video and I don't really understand how this maps to the underlying Git operations and what it can do. What happens if I make changes locally while Cursor is doing something? Is this detected properly? (That might be useful.) Can I use it with Claude Code too in some way? Is it primarily for syncing with external tools like Lovable?

Also, the ChatGPT generated copy for the landing page is somewhat off-putting.

I am a volunteer firefighter and hold a degree in electrical engineering. The shenanigans with their shunt resistors, and ensuing melting cables, is in my view criminal. Any engineer worth their salt would recognize pushing 600W through a bunch of small cables with no contingency if some of them have failed is just asking for trouble. These assholes are going to set someone's house on fire.

I hope they get hit with a class action lawsuit and are forced to recall and properly fix these products before anyone dies as a result of their shoddy engineering.

I believe the false perception that geopolitics are cyclical is a major contributor to the political apathy that allows clowns to get elected, or it seems strongly correlated, at least. Some doors can't be shut, once opened, and the current administration opens every door without a thought of what could be behind it. Maybe better people get elected next cycle, but they won't be able to rebuild everything.

I hope people recognize that their tax dollars aren't the only dollars that can evoke change; we don't have to wait our turn to start fixing things.

The word “ambition” is indeed vague, and this is unfortunate, as there is a rich vocabulary full of distinction we ought to be using. (You see the same thing when people use “passionate” as a virtue, such as in job postings when what they mean is “enthusiastic”. Taken literally, you certainly don’t want passionate employees!)

In the strict sense, ambition [0] is an inordinate love of honor.

Perseverance [1], OTOH, is the ability to endure suffering in pursuit of a good. Both effeminacy (refusal or inability to endure suffering to attain a good) and pertinacity (obstinate pursuit of something one should not) are opposed to perseverance.

It seems that ambition is therefore opposed to perseverance, since it can either be effeminate (the ineffectual daydreamer that makes big plans that he never realizes) or pertinacious (the person who bites off more than he can chew).

Prudence [3] involves the application of right reason to action, which itself presupposes right desire. An inordinate love of honor is therefore opposed to prudence, because it involves an inordinate desire. Furthermore, prudence presupposes humility [2], which involves knowing the actual limits of your strengths and qualities (it is not the denial of the strengths and qualities you actual have, which is opposed to humility and a common misconception!). Humility allows us to moderate our desires. In that sense, ambition as an inordinate desire for honors beyond one’s reach lacks humility.

This has long been the aspect I've struggled with, having spent some time implementing various temporal solutions in the past 2 years. We can try and pull out all sorts of classic metrics like SSIM, but the truth is a lot of these effects are really hard to objectively evaluate using some sort of metric. Moreover the same technique can have vastly different outcomes depending on the content, and user perception is subjective as well. Many days were spent thinking I had solved a visual issue, only for another edge case to come up under specific conditions. Many of these techniques are fairly difficult to reason about from first-principles and adding ML into the mix only makes that harder.

Making what up? This comment doesn't make any sense. Being an assistant is a job at a place of employment. It doesn't involve doing highly personal tasks that you would expect a maid, or more likely, yourself, to do.

It's one thing to ask one of your employees to go to the break room and make a cup of coffee for you. It's another to ask them to go to your literal house and do common household chores. That's very obviously not appropriate and it's kind of mind blowing I have to spell this out.

Like I said, you can gate by capabilities but not by hardware.

I was referring to your last paragraph about the supposed explicit compatibility settings in the App Store per hardware. That is not a thing. Your example is specifically a capability, and one that requires PCIe, therefore needs thunderbolt.

Apple themselves may gate those capabilities behind different product classes, but as a developer you cannot. That in turn makes it very difficult to know specifically why something isn’t supported.

For example you can connect DACs and controllers to non-M iPads https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360012532199...

There are also capabilities that diverge in other axes like newer A series chips support things where an M series doesn’t. Hardware raytracing was an example of that for a while. Or still is because there are different gens of M series chips for sale.

Hmm. Ok so you're basically quoting the line from The Weatherman "60% of the time, it works all of the time."

I also use gpt and Claude daily via cursor.

Gpt o3 is kinda good for general knowledge searches. Claude falls down all the time, but I've noticed that while it's spending tokens to jerk itself off, quite often it happens on the actual issue going on with out recognizing it.

Models are dumb and more idiot than idiot savant, but sometimes they hit on relevant items. As long as you personally have an idea of what you need to happen and treat LLMs like rat terriers in a farm field, you can utilize them properly

Ok, but if I have L7 vision and skills, but get hired as a L4, and can complete my work in 10h/week, what right does the company have to demand more than that? It sounds like a mismatch between level/salary and skills. If a person can fulfill their role profile, isn't that what the company hired them for? We aren't talking about officer-level positions here.

> No, you didn’t build it

That's why I used the word create. I would be responsible for the creation of the product, so imo I created it. I'm the creator. It wouldn't exist without my vision, direction, and investment (of time and/or money).

Like a movie Producer: they don't actually "build" the movie. They use their money pay people to manifest a movie, and at the end of it they have created a movie and get a share of the profits (or losses) that come with it.

No, they shouldn't call themselves cinematographers, but they can say that they "produced" the movie and nobody takes issue with that.

> Do you own it? Maybe.

If I paid for it then absolutely I own it. I get to keep the future profits because I took the risk. The people that "built" it get nothing more than what I paid them for their labor (unless I offerred them ownership shares).

Take a look at my thoughts on version control and vibecoding

https://github.com/TZubiri/keyboard-transpositions-checker

My idea is that we should not commit LLM written code, but rather we should commit the prompts. The LLM prompts are source code, the LLM code is target code. If you use typescript and scss, you would commit that, not the generated js and css.

That LLMs are typically non-deterministic introduces some issue, but surely you can achieve determinism with seeds, specific model revisions and 0 temperature.

> Scalpers are a retail wide problem. Acting like Nvidia has the insight or ability to prevent them is just silly.

Oh trust me, they can combat it. The easiest way, which is what Nintendo often does for the launch of its consoles, is produce an enormous amount of units before launch. The steady supply to retailers, absolutely destroys folks ability to scalp. Yes a few units will be scalped, but most scalpers will be underwater if there is a constant resupply. I know this because I used to scalp consoles during my teens and early twenties, and Nintendo's consoles were the least profitable and most problematic because they really try to supply the market. The same with iPhones, yeah you might have to wait a month after launch to find one if you don't pre-order but you can get one.

It's widely reported that most retailers had maybe tens of cards per store, or a few hundred nationally, for the 5090s launch. This immediately creates a giant spike in demand, and drove prices up along with the incentive for scalpers. The manufacturing partners immediately saw what (some) people were willing to pay (to the scalpers) and jacked up prices so they could get their cut. It is still so bad in the case of the 5090 that MSRP prices from AIBs skyrocketed 30%-50%. PNY had cards at the original $1999.99 MSRP and now those same cards can't be found for less than $2,999.99.

By contrast look at how AMD launched it's 9000 series of GPUS-- each MicroCenter reportedly had hundreds on hand (and it sure looked like by pictures floating around). Folks were just walking in until noon and still able to get a GPU on launch day. Multiple restocks happened across many retailers immediately after launch. Are there still some inflated prices in the 9000 series GPUs? Yes, but we're not talking a 50% increase. Having some high priced AIBs has always occurred but what Nvidia has done by intentionally under supplying the market is awful.

I personally have been trying to buy a 5090 FE since launch. I have been awake attempting to add to cart for every drop on BB but haven't been successful. I refuse to pay the inflated MSRP for cards that haven't been been that well reviewed. My 3090 is fine... At this point, I'm so frustrated by NVidia I'll likely just piss off for this generation and hope AMD comes out with something that has 32GB+ of VRAM at a somewhat reasonable price.

I use mayo as the base also, but: I make my own mayo, which I cannot recommend more highly. The serious eats stick blender recipe changed my mayo life: It's easier to just make some on demand then to keep store-bought stuff on hand, and it's _so_ much better.

(And customizable - I usually make mine with a little more garlic. This last time I tried making it with a whole-grai. Mustard and the results were delightful.)

This could've been moderately interesting if he'd bothered to elucidate exactly how the Democratic party has moved away from him, because as far as I can tell their policy platforms have not changed dramatically except on some social issues. The only thing I can come up with as speculation is that he's greatly overestimating the popularity of "The Squad" and a handful of other progressives based on social media presence rather than actually examining what the party has tried to accomplish in recent years.

(Ok, a more cynical speculation is that he's the one who has changed due to his enormous wealth, and he no longer actually aligns with the Democratic party of 20 years ago; but he'd never consider, let alone admit, such a thing.)

What if we could resolve every domain to 0.0.0.0 by default at the start. When visiting a website manually through the browser's URL bar it would automatically be whitelisted. Clicking links would also whitelist the domain of the link only. Sure you'd have to occasionally allow some 3rd party domains as well. Guess it would be cumbersome at first but after a while it would be pretty stable and wouldn't require much extra attention.

> but you'd be surprised how effective it is as a medicine for a lot of people.

Nah, I mean even for me, it had some positive impacts, again, allowing me to eat for instance. So i'm not blind to its capacity to be a positive force for many conditions.

The problem is that it's really not a miracle cure without side effects for everyone which a lot of people are not willing to entertain. There are people who simply refuse to accept that cannabis is not always the best, or even a workable choice.

In my case for instance, despite the positive of an increased appetite, it increased my pain, it gave me heart palpitations, it gave me sinus tachyardia, etc. Despite this, cannabis users will argue with me and tell me I "must have been doing it wrong" or various other statements along those lines, rather than accepting that like any drug, the reaction and utility of it is down to the individual.

Thanks for sharing the link - this one goes into more depth: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/...

I can't comment on the conflict of interest as I do not know the practitioners personally, but from additional/supplementary research in this space as well as the massive amount of people this work has appearerd to help recover (look at reviews/discussion for books like the 'The Way Out') - it does seem to be having a big impact.

I'm aiming to link supplementary research in follow-on articles (e.g. the relation b/w pain and injury where nociplastic pain is present, the impact of psychological factors on pain etc) to paint a comprehensive (yet digestible) picture.

If there was a neoliberal candidate who was halfway decent in the NYC race they could possible beat Mandami but as it is the anti-Mandami vote will be split between several competitors in the “who can be the biggest jerk?” primary. It’s a game Trump can win but nobody else.

Billionaires have to face up to taking an L once in a while. When you suppress the left to the extent that (in Germany) the SPD says “we can’t afford the welfare state” pretty soon the AfD is saying “… we can if we get rid of the migrants.”

Mandami is terrifying to those people because he’s a plain spoken person who talks to ordinary people about issues that they care about and doesn’t use weird words that scare away minorities and working class people. Guess what, billionaires can pay a little more tax and still… live their lives.

I held "software engineer" and even "researcher" titles (btw I don't even have a degree). These mean nothing.

I am a troubleshooter, and my troubleshooting skills are measured by how much trouble I can shoot.

Not how much trouble I will be able to shoot once my tool is sharpened, not how much trouble I could shoot _in principle_, nothing of this nonsense. Trouble I can shoot now.

Users who mostly use LLM prompting are currently very limited in the amount of trouble they can shoot. Sometimes, it creates more problems than it solves.

Once that changes, we can open the gates. Show me the works.
