[edit]

The below is fixed (https://github.com/shell-pool/shpool/pull/213/files) upstream already, but is pending a release.

I never heard of shpool, so just tried it. shpool completely breaks my PROMPT_COMMAND because it assumes that each word (in the shell sense) is a separate command. My PROMPT_COMMAND included "history -a" thus causing it to run "history" and "-a" on every prompt, making things quite unusable.

It's quite maddening because all they had to do was write a lot less code to fix it:

eval "${SHPOOL__OLD_PROMPT_COMMAND}"

Would run the old prompt command just nicely instead of the much longer:

for prompt_hook in ${SHPOOL__OLD_PROMPT_COMMAND}; do ${prompt_hook}; done;

Musharbash's argument, however, is dependent on the exercise of oligopoly power (whether he admits that or not, and given that he's long argued that the oligopoly is present...), and there's no evidence of it!

He tries to twist Lambert's words to say he's only saying there's no evidence of builders throttling at a national scale, thereby leaving room for his argument that it's happening in particular markets (https://x.com/musharbash_b/status/1951133245342404888). The only problem? Lambert clearly isn't specifying a national scale when he says "US," because he then continues by providing an explanation for the local weakening seen in some metros.

Musharbash seems smart enough to understand that, which leaves intentional misrepresentation. He's doing damage control, and hoping to wave his hands hard enough that it isn't noticed.

It probably is a software issue (though I usually assume USB-2 is more likely to be about half its raw rated speed), and if the pokey USB-2 speeds aren't a bottleneck that's truly ghastly.

But it was an interesting data point to me. It's utterly ridiculous how long Apple devices take to do migrations now.

The US is a federal system, and the states run healthcare and academia. If Congress can tax a state X amount of dollars, that state is obviously able to do so also.

New York accounts for nearly half of all state Medicaid GME funding nationally, with NY state Medicaid GME alone reaching ~$1.8 billion of the $4.4 billion total GME spending in NY in 2012 (federal + state + private).[1]

And is New York better off? Do these claims about GME hold up there? Don't blame AMA or Congress, blame your dominant state political party. Congress should probably require matching for GME which would completely cut off funding for most states. We can already read the headlines.

If you actually knew about this before I mentioned it please let me know, but I think you likely didn't, even though you've obviously spent time researching this important topic. I am actually more irritated how little "people in the know" actually know. It's why I despise outlets like NPR who spread propaganda (agitprop mostly) and refuse to report relevant info and the damage it has caused to America's intelligentsia. Defund NPR and friends, they are the root cause of this mess.

From online discourse and talking to people in different sectors that are impacted by "AI", I feel like there is great uncertainty, incredible hype and doomerism at the same time.

My intuition is that we're in a huge tech bubble that will correct at some point. I don't know when that is or how severe it will be. But why should this tech hype cycle be qualitatively different from any of the others?

> How does something like this happening not make people immediately realize that the Republican party is not working for the people anymore?

anymore?

Are you implying that the GOP would have been for a free Direct File in years prior?

They wouldn't have.

This is not a new stance. I'm not sure why anyone in the Republican party would be shocked by this news, or why it would change their opinions.

This is similar to the Republican party doing something anti-abortion, and then Liberals being shocked, and saying, "You guys are really still going to vote for these people?"

Yeah, it's what they expected.

Brit here, we have tax taken from gross pay automatically (Pay As You Earn, PAYE) for most people unless they are self-employed.

https://www.gov.uk/income-tax/how-you-pay-income-tax

When I was self-employed for a shortish period, I went for an assessment interview. The HMRC bod spent most of the 20 minutes trying to find expenses I could claim tax relief on. There wasn't much (working at home, using my own laptop, writing teaching materials based on existing knowledge &c).

Society has already collapsed and we are on a slow roll to dubious decay.

You see, society to too big to fail. Even when core virtues (precepts) are invalidated (eroding competence and moral lawful claim), society as a collective organism eating and shitting to survive will just keep on going.

There may be upsets, though sudden and dramatic change are not how these things work (however they appear post dramatically).

Slow gradual decline is like erosion, looks fine one day, fifteen years later when you’re dealing with something else the foundation gives.

We won’t riot war and starve out, we will be dejected apathetic and morose while what we love in it all dwindles into an old song.

SEEKING WORK | Remote | AI Infrastructure & Performance

Location: Wisconsin

---

Last September I built an AI inference tool that hit #3 on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41620530). It processed 17.3M messages in 24 hours and only cost $17 to run.

I specialize in:

- LLM inference optimization (FastAPI, proper batching, memory management)

- CI/CD pipelines for ML deployments

- Making AI systems cost-effective at scale

Recent work: FrankenClaude (reasoning injection experiments, https://thelisowe.substack.com/p/frankenclaude-injecting-dee...), self driving Rocket League (https://thelisowe.substack.com/p/building-an-ai-that-plays-r...), diffdev (AI-powered code modification tool, https://pypi.org/project/diffdev/).

Previously at Sprout Social where I built their ML inference platform - reduced deployment time from 6 months to 6 hours and cut AWS costs by $500K/yr.

Looking for interesting problems in AI infrastructure, performance optimization, or building products from scratch.

Tech: PyTorch, FastAPI, K8s, Docker, AWS, ONNX

Some sites (eg Google) offer child friendly versions where safe search is enforced, by accessing the site using a different set of IPs. Some DNS providers (eg Cloudflare 1.1.1.3) automatically resolve to those safe IPs when available.

The government should require sites with "unsafe" content to make "safe" versions available (eg force safe mode, readonly, no signup). Sites that are wholly inappropriate for children should self-report so they can be made unresolvable by child-safe DNS.

I'm not saying this specific implementation is the one true way, there's alternatives and ways to work around it. My real point is that the government should have forced sites to implement a consistent method of enforcing child safe mode, that can be easily set in a blanket fashion by the parent.

I'm sure whatever approach will be "too technical" for many parents at first, but once a consistent safe-mode method becomes clear, I'm sure UIs and parental controls will evolve to make it easy to enable.

I've been thinking about this for a while, in terms of WW2 with Germany, and especially with Japan. A completely alien culture (mind you, from both sides, I'm not exotizing Japan so much as emphasizing the limited contact pre WW2) that felt diametrically opposed to our very way of life, we waged total war, both sides committed atrocities and then the US dropped the two biggest bombs ever dropped in war on civilian populations, dismantled their government, and to this day have restrictions on their military. By all rights they should hate us bitterly, but our nations and our people quickly became close allies, friends even. Americans love Anime and romanticize Japanese cultural institutions, such as the baths, their transit, the technology and urbanization of Japanese cities. Japanese people love Jazz, and baseball, and there's just a lovely mutual respect and cultural cross-pollination between two cultures that, while more similar than they were in WW2, still have many differences.

I know every situation is unique, and I think one of the advantages is that there was so little shared history, so little room for preexisting animosity, so both sides could say "Yeah, that was an unfortunate time, but we've realized our mistakes and get along now." But it still gives me hope for other seemingly intractable conflicts.

RouterOS 7 with the wifiwave2 package supposedly improves on this by (finally) supporting 802.11r/k/v for roaming between APs.

I don't have any mikrotik hardware new enough to support it so I haven't tried it myself yet and documentation is (as usual) pretty lacking, but like you I want to believe.

> I mostly disagree with it. I don't want prepubescent children watching porn of course, but the vast majority of them aren't doing that with any regularity,

This genuinely needs qualification and I suspect, based on discussions I have had with friends who are teachers and teaching assistants, that you would be horrified by how often very young children (seven, eight, nine years old) are viewing material that only a couple of generations ago would not have been seen in any legal publication in the UK.

> It isn't a problem that demands a robust solution with serious downsides.

This is an opinion, not a fact. I think I disagree, but I also disagree that websites asking you to verify you can access a particular link on a mobile device is a particularly serious downside (since that is one of the valid ways of age attestation in the UK -- it requires only that your mobile phone provider knows you are an adult, which they can establish in a number of ways).

I'm getting 100 Gemini Pro requests per day with an AI Studio API key that doesn't have billing enabled.

After that it's bumped down to Flash, which is surpisingly effective in Gemini CLI.

If I need Pro, I just swap in an API from an account with billing enabled, but usually 100 requests is enough for a day of work.

> When was the last time you saw an ad to buy a Bugatti Chiron?

Ads don't just have to be a photo on a billboard, though, or the entire thing of influencers wouldn't exist.

How many times has the Chiron been on Top Gear - I reckon at least three times (I can remember once in the Clarkson era and another time in the Harris/Le Blanc era; the magazine's had one at the Nürburgring at least once)? Sure Bugatti's letting them loose with a multi-million euro car out of the goodness of their hearts.

I think tips in many places are slowly converging into something like a 20% commission paid by the consumer, thanks to restaurants including a suggested tip on the screen or receipt, and bars automatically charging a 20% tip if you don't explicitly close your tab.

I hadn't thought of this before, but keeping tips as formally selected and paid for by the consumer may help the restaurant with liability issues where alcohol is involved. Paying servers and bartenders a direct sales commission might become an issue in court if a customer is overserved.

The average 2br rent for the last 2 years was $4,536

The average for the last month is is $5,738

This is a 25%+ increase, let's say around 10% of that can be accounted for via seasonal increases.

The almost certain incoming mayor has pushed for rent stabilization/control/freeze. Let's assume this restricts increases to 10% Y/Y similar to cities like Seattle, this would cause at least a 5% recessionary pressure for housing suppliers.

The big question - is the increase due to greed among the supply (i.e. this pressure is good for the market), due to existing market pressures (i.e. this pressure may cause a wider recession in the housing market), or due to a bubble (i.e. this pressure may pop it, for better or worse)?

>You also need more solar and more batteries to power all that ISR.

I wonder if it would be feasible to use smaller sensors and on a smaller platform - then combine that data. Similar in concept to Gorgon stare where the idea was to combine data from multiple UAVs to create a larger image to provide a greater simultaneous coverage area.

the book One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This helped me realize that asking questions like this isn't really about contradiction, it's about revealed preference. In this case, it's about a revealed preference for social stability and personal comfort/familiarity in a system that's already been pushed over the inflection point and is now self-sustaining.

It helps to stop assuming people want what they say they want and start assuming that they want the predictable effects of their actions, then try to figure out what benefits those actions have or desires those effects may fulfill. When the group does something that's against your principles or best interests, there's an implicit question: do you value being part of the group more than you value this thing that we're transgressing against? When you look at it in this lens all sorts of behaviors start to make sense.

Also the reason to get rid of free tax filing is to exploit the American people, not just to hurt them for its own sake. Tell them they have to do something, make it as convoluted as possible, then sell a service that does it for them. It absolutely does hurt them, but that's not the driving force behind the effort.

It does seem that people are fed up enough to ignore campaign spending, however. Examples are the Wisconsin supreme court race and Mamdani vs. Cuomo.

I really don't think that the Democratic establishment as we know it has much time to live. Democratic voters are not interested in the center-right. They want to go left. Candidates that move things to the left do well without expensive campaigns.

Yeah but here's the thing though: if the "games" in question are considered illegal in Australia, then if Steam was already trivially demonstrably breaking Australian law by selling them in the Australian market and could have been taken to court.

That is not what happened here. Instead an Australian group demanded Australian law be applied globally, and now you can fuck right off and maybe learn about the fact that an entire planet exists outside of where you live, with not just wildly different laws, but also wildly different attitudes towards what is considered real or not.

No, Americans can still do that. You can get the forms to file your taxes from many public places (e.g. the library), and filling out a 1040 is dead easy if you are just bringing in wages from your job. The instructions are very clear and will walk you through the whole process.

I agree that we should have a government-provided e-file option in the modern age, but it is not true to say that Americans have no way to file taxes for free.

I guess let me rephrase the question. Does there exist system that is inconsistent but the inconsistency is localized and therefore we can actually miss the inconsistency by not knowing or noticing the localized inconsistency? Is there a proof of what you said as well? An inconsistent system with the inconsistency in one spot can have any statement made about the system be both true and false? I’m adjusting the parameters here so we can ask the deeper question of whether one exists in the real world.

Indeed: your comment made me curious, so I've read the article although I wasn't initially interested, and I gained a nice point of view about conversational interfaces to LLMs and how friction, usually a pure HCI concern, is being weaponized to bring about a profitable and inhumane world. I didn't need to read this today but will surely remember or think about at some point.

Thanks for wasting my time! You might just want to exert a little bit more effort next time to explain why you felt that way, which would make your hard-earned piece of advice a useful contribution to this place instead of that weird way of reminding everyone that you exist at the detriment of others.

democrats didn’t need as they controlled those institutions. they however did it to the police to punish them just like trump did to school. For education, It was their funding and they put in power the people that did the coercion, lied on their resume and instead of having the will to educate the students just pushed down their throats propaganda. if you were against BLM or even a bit vocal about the tactics and negative things they were doing your carrier / studies would have ended and violence was also physically ok.

why do you think no major company care about it anymore? why diversity HR teams or Sustainability teams are getting disbanded? why do we have “sydney sweeney has good jeans” ads now while we had overweight models during biden Era? we are living through a different propaganda era that the market decided to follow like the previous one just to bank on it.
