There exists such numbers/information circulated mainly inside Chinese (language) media/social media in form of "screenshot" but no links. Screenshot as a way of hiding source is a common format for this type of information because the links will disclose the media that spread the information. Then normal (Chinese) audience will know the credibility of the information. Give you an example, "epoch times" is a common source of such type of information. The nature of the media is well-known to Chinese audience.

The real equivalence to US defense budget in term of size is actually the infrastructure construction budget. While both budgets boost the economy , infrastructure budget improves the life of local people. Now as the most cities in coast areas run out of project to build, the over capacity cultivated in early years is poured to other directions: rural areas, undeveloped provinces, and even overseas especially Africa and Latin America. It's amazing that China changes very fast year by year as I visited some rural areas.

Ionically this behavior of infrastructure building sounds like Chinese MAGA to me: mind our own business, focus on improve ourselves instead of spread values to other countries.

Most elected politicians at this point are happy to repeat the same lies of "this person was arrested because they were being violent/interfering/were acting suspiciously/refused to identify themselves" even if there is multiple sources of video evidence to the contrary. Republicans in particular have no interest in the truth where it conflicts with the claims they want to make to advance their agenda, and most Democrats are too toothless to call out this misbehavior with the force and passion it deserves.

And when they do call it out, people will be told by Fox News and others that "this senator is opposed to the work ICE is doing to solve the problem of illegal immigrants", and other news agencies will say "such-and-such official says this senator is opposed to..." and the propaganda will spread and people will believe it.

> if there are not enough jobs, then what are we going to do? Create more?

…yes.

> problem isn't employment. It's food and shelter

We track these. And in most places in America, you can get to a place where you can get both for free. Not to the quality most people want. But to a degree that will sustain you.

It depends on what you're trying to measure. From a purely rational perspective, increasing inequality doesn't matter if everyone's quality of life is improving. But humans are irrational, and happiness is often tied to social status within the hierarchy. Even if you're materially better off you might find yourself lower on the status scale. Status is a zero-sum game. Maybe we shouldn't care about such things but yet most people do.

Laziness doesn’t stop just because technology improves. This is just intellectual laziness being blamed on LLMs, as usual. “I don’t bother to read my code anymore, so LLMs did it.” “I don’t practice coding anymore, it’s LLMs fault.” Blah. Blah Blah.

People will always blame someone or something else for laziness.

I'm toying with the phrase "precedented originality" as a way to describe the optimal division of labor when I work with Opus 4 running hot (which is the first one where I consistently come out ahead by using it). That model at full flog seems to be very close to the asymptote for the LLM paradigm on coding: they've really pulled out all the stops (the temperature is so high it makes trivial typographical errors, it will discuss just about anything, it will churn for 10, 20, 30 seconds to first token via API).

Its good enough that it has changed my mind about the fundamental utility of LLMs for coding in non-Javascript complexity regimes.

But its still not an expert programmer, not by a million miles, there is no way I could delegate my job to it (and keep my job). So there's some interesting boundary that's different than I used to think.

I think its in the vicinity of "how much precedent exists for this thought or idea or approach". The things I bring to the table in that setting have precedent too, but much more tenuously connected to like one clear precedent on e.g. GitHub, because if the thing I need was on GitHub I would download it.

> I think they have to for ipv6 addresses… there’s just way too many bots and way too many addresses

Are you really arguing that it's legitimate to consider all IPv6 browsing traffic "suspicious"?

If anything, I'd say that IPv4 is probably harder, given that NATs can hide hundreds or thousands of users behind a single IPv4 address, some of which might be malicious.

> you may have gotten an address that was previously used by a bot network.

Great, another "credit score" to worry about...

It saddens me to think that the rise of LLMs means cool new(ish) tools like this may never get widespread adoption.

I find myself personally a little unwilling to engage with jj as I expect LLMs to be much more fluent with git, though I notice there's an option to use git and jj interchangeably in the same local repo which might finally be enough to tip me over the edge.

The current administration is not merely racists, autocratic, and hell bent on insuring all wealth is held by the oligarch class,

it is also engaged in the most venal, short-sighted, and destructive assault on the basic functions of governance and civil society I can imagine.

I don't care what one's view is on the appropriate scale and role of federal governance, some operations are best and only accomplished at that level,

and this short of bullshit is not just a disservice to, it is an attack on the citizenry.

That's also why you can't be forced to say the Pledge of Allegiance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Virginia_State_Board_of_E...

"In the 1930s, the president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, Joseph Franklin Rutherford, began objecting to state laws requiring school students to salute the flag as a means of instilling patriotism, and in 1936 he declared that baptized Jehovah's Witnesses who saluted the flag were breaking their covenant with God and were committing idolatry."

Ah, Csmith! A well known and much read paper which inspired a lot of work.

Differential testing of compilers via random generation of correct programs goes back a ways before this paper. For C, it's made more difficult by the need to avoid undefined behaviors in the generated code (which C is loaded with). So much of the work here was how to generate sufficiently diverse programs that still have defined behavior.

A follow on paper (from 2012) described creduce, the failing test input reducer than can be used with csmith. It's also useful for other purposes, and for languages other that C. Reducing the inputs requires preserving the condition that they are valid C without undefined behaviors.

Two observations.

First, there comes a point when it’s not ascii art, it’s just dithering. The use of different colors for the characters goes even further from ascii art.

Second, opening this on my iPad results in a moon with a black crescent on the bottom and an oddly shaped dark green crescent on the left. What star system is this moon in?

You might have seen different BBC stories than I have.

Like when the BBC said all converts to Islam are "reverts"; https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-did-the-bbc-say-musl... ; the nasty implication being that one religion is the status quo of humanity

Or when the BBC framed an Ad as racist, because it called out a politician's sectarian & anti-LGBTQ appeals https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yg0g18989o https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/1ksv0y7/refo...

The other day actually, I saw a newscaster describe the horrors Apartheid in South Africa as though it were happening today. She then closed with "... [Apartheid] is now no longer enforced" and transitioned quickly to the next topic. Not ended or abolished, but merely "not enforced".

Their bias is rather pernicious.

It is less strange when you consider that AR could be the technology to replace the smartphone itself.

So far nothing could replace it (headsets, watches, other wearable) because while different ways of interaction exist, the users always needed a screen for (media) consumption.

An AR device could suddenly tick all boxes, make a user buy such glasses as companion device and slowly transition away from his iPhone. So Apple needs to prepare and expand its ecosystem stickyness to AR.

Have you read the article?

Do you believe that ecology will just resolve bee colony collapse due to mites?

From the article:

> USDA research points to viruses spread by pesticide-resistant mites, indicating a worrying trend

If nothing eats or kills the mites that are killing the bees, should we expect bee colony collapse to resolve on its own?

> Several sentences in the story were flagged as biased, including this one: "It’s the first time in 60 years that a president has mobilized a state’s National Guard without receiving a request to do so from the state’s governor." According to the bias indicator, this sentence is "framing the action as unprecedented in a way that might subtly critique the administration." It was best to give more context to “balance the tone."

"Might subtly critique"?! This isn't protecting versus bias, this isn't even charitably regardable as cowardice.

It's an attack on reason & reporting. To shield the worst cry bullies & offenders. It's ghastly how basic simple reporting so offends, that the public interest is sabotaged by these foes. We face such a need to improve the media, and this is the opposite path, of craven blunt un-intelligently intermediated corporatism.

Interesting, so if I understand right you are saying that coarse-graining your states can produce an arrow of time on its own? Given some fixed coarse-graining, I can see that entropy would initially increase, since your coarse-graining hides information from you. The longer you evolve the system under this coarse graining the less certain you will be about the micro-states.

But I would expect this to eventually reach an equilibrium where you are at "maximum uncertainty" with respect to your coarse graining. Does that sound right at all? And if so, then there must be something else responsible for the global arrow of time, right?

> If you set the collision probability to zero it's time reversible even with molecular chaos

Is this true for boring reasons? If nothing interacts then you just have a bunch of independent particles in free motion, which is obviously time-reversible. And also obviously satisfies molecular chaos because there are no correlations whatsoever. Maybe I misunderstand the terminology.

Automatous vehicles are absolutely inevitable and Waymo has completely lapped Tesla. It's not impossible for Tesla to catch up, but it's not likely. Their tech is insufficient, their public record is non-existent, and Musk is famously inept at working with the many local governments and bureaucracies he needs to appease if he ever hopes to start pilots in the biggest markets. Meanwhile, Waymo is maybe a year away from becoming the Kleenex brand of driverless taxis, with over 10 million rides sold and a truckload of bureaucratic good will already built up.

This really is not it.

Outright lies are very ineffective in manipulating public opinion because they can be easily disproven.

It's much more about pretending its only a little rain when its raining alot. Ignoring the rain when it doesnt support your narrative. Pretending the rain is really important when its not important at all. Pretending it only rains where you are and much less everywhere else etc etc etc.

Downside for me is that people FUCKING scream at me when I want to remove a piece and make it unsupported but FB, Google, Docker, Atlassian they can just get away with it.

So I reserve being pissed off for myself — that I can do and no one can stop me :D.

Or just making fun of whatever instance I find on the internet.

Question is "can you just do that" on whatever system you are working on, or maybe you have wait 10 years or you just switch company every 2 years to avoid dealing with it?

The actual report: https://adp-ri-nrip-static.adp.com/artifacts/us_ner/20250702...

Goods-producing companies were net hirers (+32,000). Services lost 66,000 jobs, with losses concentrated in professional/business services (-56,000) and education/health services (-52,000).

Regionally, losses were concentrated in the West North Central Midwest (-28,000), South Atlantic (-21,000) and Mountain states (-20,000). (Map with old data [2].)

Firms with 1 to 50 employees and 250 to 499 employees laid people off while smaller mid-size and large companies were net hirers.

“Year-over-year pay growth for job-stayers was little changed for June at 4.4 percent compared to 4.5 percent in May. Pay growth for job-changers was 6.8 percent in June, down slightly from 7.0 percent last month.” (Pay growth was highest in finance, +5.2%, and lowest in information services, +4.1%.)

Or that on Apple platforms, you are not supposed to use "OK" as a button, but rather the action it is going to perform (e.g. "Delete").

Using non-standard labelling _and_ putting buttons in their non-standard order is a real issue.

Not to mention that on some platforms the position of the buttons may be specific to localization, e.g. they may switch order if the user's language is set to Hebrew.

On Mac, the coloring indicates which action is triggered by default with the keyboard - one of the first things to go if you stylize the UI yourself.

These and all the other inconsistencies add up until you have something like the iOS Youtube app, where IMHO the UI is just complete nonsense. Just because you are full screen doesn't mean you can redefine fundamentals about how information is laid out or what taps are supposed to do.

> What I do care about is the theft of my identity. A person may learn from the words I write but that person doesn't end up mimicking the way I write. They are still uniquely themselves.

Of course they do, to some extent. Just because it's been infeasible to track the exact "graph of influence", that's literally how humans have learned to speak and write for as long as we've had language and writing.

> I'm concerned that the more I write the more my text becomes my identifier. I use a handle so I can talk more openly about some issues.

That's a much more serious concern, in my view. But I believe that LLMs are both the problem and solution here: "Remove style entropy" is just a prompt away, these days.

This looks really nice (apart from the shape of the gibbous moon, but others have already pointed that out).

Could you possibly detect the user's approximate location and rotate the whole thing 180 degrees if they're in the southern hemisphere? Down here, the moon looks technically the same, but it's 180 degrees* rotated because we're standing upside-down when we look at it. The craters are flipped and the light comes from the opposite side.

*Actually it's only rotated a full 180 degrees at opposite poles, and the exact rotation depends on your latitude. But perfect is the enemy of good etc.

The "downward spiral" of Tesla is greatly exaggerated - almost entirely by those who hate the CEO's politics and therefore irrationally hate anything near him.

Most of your other "big" car companies are also experiencing down-trending sales. Perhaps not the the same percentage as Tesla, but as soon as people are told to hate something/someone else, sales will go back like they always have. People have a short attention span - and only a minority of people wear their politics around as some sort of identity. An even smaller minority of the people cheering on the "downward spiral" of Tesla were ever going to be a Tesla customer (ie. a luxury brand car buyer).

The "downward spiral" of Tesla is greatly exaggerated.

Just a personal anecdote, Walter Bright's Digital Mars C++ compiler also had the contracts (D started life almost literally as recycled code from Mr. Bright's other compilers - he wrote a native Java compiler, a Javascript 1.3 stdlib, and a C++ compiler with a bunch of extensions.... smash those together and you have the early D releases!).

Anyway, I used the DM C++ compiler originally because it was the only one I could download to the high school computers without filling out a form, and pimply-face youth me saw "DESIGN BY CONTRACT" at the top of the website and got kinda excited thinking it was a way to make some easy money coding online.

Imagine my disappointment when I saw it was just in/out/invariant/assert features. (I'm pretty sure D had just come out when I saw that, but I saw `import` instead of `#include` and dismissed it as a weenie language. Came back a couple years later and cursed my younger self for being a fool! lol)

My response completely acknowledged their current reasoning limits.

But in evolutionary time frames, clearly those limits are lifting extraordinarily quickly. By many orders of magnitude.

And the point I made, that our limits were imposed by harsh biological energy and reward limits, vs. todays models (and their successors) which have access to relatively unlimited energy, and via sharing value with unlimited customers, unlimited rewards, stands.

It is a much simpler problem to improve digital cognition in a global ecosystem of energy production, instant communication and global application, than it was for evolution to improve an individual animals cognition in the limited resources of local habitats and their inefficient communication of advances.

I work in a team of 8. So previously I wrote 1/8th of the code. Now I write 1/16th with the other 1/16th being written by an LLM. Figuring out how to work effectively together as a team requires solving the same problem you describe. For me, an LLM is like having another junior developer on the team.

How you get good results as a team is to develop a shared mental model, and that typically needs to exist in design docs. I find that without design docs, we all agree verbally, and then are shocked at what everyone else thought we'd agreed on. Write it down.

LLMs, like junior devs, do much better with design docs. You can even let the junior dev try writing some design docs.

So if you're a solo developer, I can see this would be a big change for you. Anyone working on a team has already had to solve this problem.

On the subject of ownership: if I commit it, I own it. If the internet "goes down" and the commit has got my name on it, "but AI" isn't going to cut it.

A close friend of mine is Chinese. He went back to China to join a HW start-up as a founding engineer 6 years ago. Then cane the sanctions. He said that was the best thing happened when I recently met him. Their company grew because Huawei and all the other Chinese manufacturers don't want to buy anything from a West-aligned country anymore. Nobody cares about the sanctions anymore apparently as they accepted it as a given, so their focus is self reliance.

It is and isn't. Tesla's downward spiral gets more media traction than other companies but that doesn't change the fact it is in a downward spiral. I may be one of the few people that read Tesla's recent financials and they are completely propped up by two things: Tesla holds a lot of Bitcoin which increased in value and other companies buy carbon credits from Tesla which is a large source of revenue for them. If either of these two things were to change, Tesla would be in a very bad situation. Rumor is that Trump is trying to kill the entire carbon credit thing. This would be a disaster for Tesla.

I did get a Switch 2 and there's not really much going on in the way of new games to be getting excited about. Nintendo is really hyping up THPS3+4, which is a port of 2 games I first played before my kids were born, grew up and graduated college. As far as console launches go the line-up is historically disappointing.
