First, I’m almost certain that this article was also partially written by AI. See for example this paragraph obviously copy pasted from Deep Research

“Overall, a more nuanced view of AI in government is necessary to create realistic expectations and mitigate risks (Toll et al., 2020)”

What a unique and human thought for a personal blogpost. Also who the fuck is Toll et al, there’s no bibliography.

Second the authors used Gemini to count em dashes. I know parsing PDF’s is not trivial but this is absurd.

MacOS hasn't evolved. It sticks with old paradigms because it's stuck in its ways.

With keyboards, that includes mappings that give RSI and finger strain for the sake of not adding a handful of keys.

For the window manager, that includes non-windowed applications, from a UI perspective never moving on from single application views - just giving an illusion of multiple apps.

Despite the strides NextSTEP brought Apple as an OS, some of which shows through at the command line, the UI and UX just hasn't moved on.

Having worked with some serious pieces of enterprise software, I don't think this is right. Anthropic is not going to perfect multi-vendor integrations, spin up a support team, and solution architect your problems for you. Enterprise software gets into the walls, and can be very hard to displace once deployed. If you build an LLM-wrapper resume parser, once you've got it into your client's workflows, they're going to find it hard to unembed it to replace it with raw Anthropic.

I tried installing baseboard with a hammer, and then a nail gun. The latter won hands down in speed, consistency, no bent nails, and minimal spackling.

Another thing - a hammer requires 3 hands: 1 for the hammer, one for the nail, one for holding the piece in position. A nail gun only requires 2 hands.

> It's a horror how much money the US has while failing to invest the majority of profits back into raising standards for everyone.

That's because of private institutions too. Regulatory capture is the reason we can't govern worth a shit in the US. The only remotely feasible way to solve environmental tragedy of the commons issues is through regulation.

My recollection of the time is that most citizens that paid attention and a majority of the politicians in the UK and AU were fully aware the "intel" was sketchy and the motivations impure .. the debate was less about the information quality and more about the obligation to partner with the US in the invasion.

The UK PM and the AU PM backed the US position and sent troops in (in the AU case they even sent in advance rangers | commandos | SASR to scout and call targets from ground) but they were both aware the "justification" and WMD claims were BS.

Trees are also vertical structures. Any vertical structure will absorb some of the light, turning it into heat, then be cooled by rising air. This keeps the heat from getting to the ground, with or without evaporation. In other words, instead of the sidewalk getting hot, something 20+ feet in the air get hot. Hot air rises and the air near the ground stays cooler.

Hello!

I'm JD, a Software Engineer with experience touching many parts of the stack (frontend, backend, databases, data & ETL pipelines, you name it). Most recently, I spent several years at Google working full-stack on applications that supported our customer service teams. I then switched to working on facilitating our teams through building frameworks, teaching, and overall enabling them to quickly launch applications.

Prior to that, I spent a couple years at First Orion - a smaller data company - helping found & build out a data engineering team as one of the first engineers. We were focused on building data pipelines and models to protect our users from malicious phonecalls. If you know the phrase "Scam Likely", we were a pioneer :)

There is a noticeable gap in my resume where I was dealing with health issues from 2022 - 2024, but am looking to rejoin the software industry. I'm passionate about helping others through my work, teaching, and building tools to improve the experience for end users - including other developers.

> ppl are getting slowly disillusioned with vibe coding.

This is the absolute polar opposite from my experience. I'm in a large non-tech community with a coders channel, and every day we get a few more Claude Code converts. I would say that vibe-coding is moving into the main-stream with experienced, professional developers who were deeply skeptical a few months ago. It's no longer fancy auto-complete: I have myself seen the magic of wishing a (low importance) front-end app into existence from scratch in an hour or so that would have taken me an order of magnitude more time beforehand.

Thanks for the feedback.

> The rules are a bit unintuitive. Definitely surprising that horizontal words don't have to be words.

You are not the first person to say this, and I am starting to agree. I think that more basic ruleset is more fun and far more intuitive. Especially given the current UI layout. I am going to spin up a new version with that ruleset I think.

Thanks!

We don't need ASIO to tell us that. The real problem is that early on when Big Tech first took a stranglehold of the internet in the early 2000s that governments failed to regulate, they did SFA despite the warning signs.

At the time it was obvious to many astute observers what was happening but governments themselves were mesmerized and awed by Big Tech.

A 20-plus year delay in applying regulations means it'll be a long hard road to put the genie back in tbe bottle. For starters, there's too much money now tied up in these trillion-dollar companies, to disrupt their income would mean shareholders and even whole economies would be affected.

Fixing the problem will be damn hard.

While I do agree that there are some academic journals that publish studies that are probably a bit suspicious, given there has been proof of enough high profile researchers publishing using false or fabricated data, though I'm not sure about this particular one to be fair - I do not like the against science as a whole messaging.

This administration is pushing anti-science as a whole which is going to do irreparable harm to all well meaning scientists and those interested in these fields as a whole. And in the end the ones suffering will be us for years to come as we will have effectively stifled innovation, especially when it comes to health.
by WaxProlix | 2025-07-02 01:44:16+00:00
This is classic playbook for this administration. Is air force one out of date, is replacing it a boondoggle? Yes and yes! Should we take a garish bug ridden pile of expense second hand from foreign sources? No! Does America somewhat subsidize the 'free world' with its military spending and asymmetric dollar? Sure, yeah. Should we fucking tank the economy and ruin our standing with every ally to address it? Probably not!

This pattern is pretty common when you look for it.

RFK's move (if true) is cheap political symbolism. It's not science. It's BS.

But that's not today's question.

Where is power, agency, missing for the RFK's of the world? Call that X. Ideally RFK would telescope symbolism there.

Presumably he forgot X, isn't invited to X, can't win with X, or can't reason with X.

As a result nature and science/policy based human health is temporarily buggered by same.

Relevant first comment by nanolith:

> The good thing is that, for hobbyists anyway, there are so many used and new-old-stock Z80s floating around that the immediate impact of this won't hit for a while. After that, there are plenty of soft core (fpga) Z80 clones, as well as emulators to run on modern microcontrollers. Zilog also has ISA compatible microcontrollers that can be retrofitted. It's unfortunate that the official Z80 is being retired, but the future of retro-computing is cycle-accurate FPGAs. [...]

I am repeatedly entertained by the phenomenon of someone who reads a case, bothers to remember it, thinks it's important, describes it, but does not provide a citation.

Friedman deeply misunderstands agency law. Saying he got the lawyers behind him is misleading, because there are any corporate fiduciary duties owed by directors or officers to the shareholder other than 1) act informed 2) do not usurp corporate opportunity.

The Vought’s of the world have openly stated their desire to turn the United States into a theocracy. They’ve seen secularism and science as enemies for ages, even beyond climate change denial, and they know that this moment is their best chance to kill things before consequences start catching up with them. Cutting science projects is a huge waste of money because you’re axing both the money invested in the mission equipment and the people, and that allows them to cause injury which cannot easily be reversed. Even in a fantasy scenario where, say, Trump is impeached or drops dead next year and is replaced by his complete opposite, it’ll still take a generation or two to rebuild if equipment is destroyed and the experts have all switched jobs – quite unlike other changes where Congress could reverse a tax or spending cut any time they want. Since there aren’t many scientists and most don’t vote for them, this is also desirable as an attack on a self-selected enemy with minimal political blowback.

Thank you for your reply. I wasn't looking for an op sec answer but more of a technical concern around design of the product - i.e why didn't they think of it, or if they did what made them not solve the problem with other tech solutions (dummy prints, zero out, patterns, or even a thermal or physical recycle program). At least communicate this is possible like they addressed the digital safety side of it.

I don't believe it would take too much lift to automate this with a scanner+some software.

It was ~15 years between the V-2 rocket crossing the Karman line to a human walking on the moon. 15 years from now we will have time for a 10 year break followed by another 15 years before we'd need to launch such a 10 year mission to be there by 2075-2076.

The real question "is there actually fund this engine and mission to bring that to completion in the next 40 years" than whatever the completion and reliability is today.

I’ve tried doing things like this with LLMs (DeepSeek in my case). The thing which killed the whole thing is that can’t be trusted to cut+paste code — a clang warning informed me, when a 200 line function had been moved and slightly adjusted, a == was turned into a = deep inside an if statement. I only noticed as that is a fairly standard warning compilers give.

I wouldn’t mind a system where an LLM made instructions for a second system, which was a reliable code rearranging tool.

I’m in a monthly meetup with designers (not randos, these are typically people who are known in the industry), and half the time is spent shitting on Figma. It’s not necessarily the quality of their design product, it’s the business model and their general focus as a company.

There are several things designers need that Figma has dragged their feet on for years, and when they do release them, they’re usually behind the enterprise paywall. Or they don’t release them at all, instead opting to build some horizontal product like Slides because their investors want a bigger TAM.

Figma has the power of the network effect at present, but you can only charge people to use variables for so long before they look for an alternative.

if you don't hear about problems the correct assumption is that things are bad and the coverup is working. Assuming things are better elsewhere is bad. Unless you personally check it of course, which you cannot do and live a life

"I’m an Australian who values privacy and civil liberties more than most I meet."

Same here. Early on, if I found a site interesting I'd often follow its links to other sites and so on down into places that the Establishment would deem unacceptable but I'd not worry too much about it.

Nowadays, I just assume authorities of all types are hovering over every mouse click I make. Not only is this horrible but it also robbs one of one's autonomy.

It won't be long before we're handing info that was once commonplace in textbooks around in secret.

SEC and most states like delaware where companies incorporate do have minority shareholder protections, regardless of these terms.

A board of directors can screw shareholders even without one controlling director.

The protections for minority shareholder are seperate.

Also the news of malpractice by directors like you mention leads to SEC investigations and stocks come crashing down before they can sell it (as they must declare their stock sales a few days before doing it)

I did say it's politically infeasible.

Producing 600kg of Pu-238 is entirely technically feasible with current level of technology, as it has already been done when the US and USSR built their stockpiles.

Current level of technology means things we are capable of achieving right now, it does not mean that the pieces literally exist ready to use, unless you genuinely believe that the thousands of satellites orbitting our planet are not part of the current level of technology because they're purpose built without using off-the-shelf parts.

Even harder now that the US President is siding with the tech broligarchy since it aligns perfectly with the America First ideology.

(It may be the last thing that the US has the world lead on)

It's also why legislation protecting privacy and/or preventing the trade of personal information is almost impossible: the "right" people profit from it, and the industry around it has grown large enough that it would have non-trivial economic effects if it were destroyed (no matter how much it thoroughly deserves to be destroyed with fire).

SnowSignals - the snow conditions forecast. I love skiing but suck at finding great snow, especially in Tahoe, CA where the snow can be finicky.

SnowSignals forecasts snow conditions to show where you should be skiing. It does this by calculating a net energy balance across the terrain using weather data as input and simulating snow metamorphosis. We started a few months ago focused on the spring freeze/thaw use case and are ramping up on the winter use case (much more sophisticated metamorphosis simulations, wind transport, etc) - in winter '25, you'll know exactly where the powder stashes are and which ice sheets to avoid.

Less guesswork and more stoke is the goal!

I guess a lot of us are trying this (naturally) as solo devs, where we can take an engineering-first mindset and build a machine or factory that spits out gizmos. I haven't gotten to the finish line, mostly because for me, the holy grail is code confidence via e2e tests that the agent generated (separately, not alongside the implementation).

This doesn't make much sense.

Definition 1 is meaningless, as for any x there are an unlimited number of values of A and alpha that satisfy x = A cos(alpha)

The phase-shift operator defined in Lemma 1 is literally just multiplying by +/-1. The integral doesn't show any relationship between alpha and x.

At the top of page 5, your "I_0 = base case" writes out an integral that is identically zero, but then simply labels it "grounded to the real line".

Just below that, the results for I_2 and I_3 suggest that there's something peculiar going on with your definition of integration. Why is one's result just "-1" and the other "-1*lambda"?

Overall there appears to be a lot of nonstandard terminology that is used but not defined in the paper; for instance, consider Definition 3:

Each unit increment rotates the real magnitude x by pi/2 radians counterclockwise, mapping it onto its local orthogonal arc dimension lambda under the operator i.

What is a "local orthogonal arc dimension"?
