That's a long list.

- RDX has a spec, so it can have compatible implementations. The result of a merge is specified to a bit. Automerge works the way Orion coded it (this time).

- There are equivalent text and binary formats, JDR and RDX.

- RDX palette of types is richer. Automerge is narrower than JSON.

- RDX can work in any commodity LSM db, natively, in the core (and it does).

- and so on...

See, I'd almost see that the other way around, that it's easier for kids in a city with good public transport links because they can get around without having to drive. I live in a medium-sized city in Germany, and kids here can be really independent - you'll regularly see them on the trams in the morning going to school, or hanging out with friends in public spaces. My wife, who grew up here, used to make plans with her friend every summer where they'd figure out all the summer activities they wanted to do and how they'd get there and which buses they needed to take, and then they were basically set free to do that.

The other aspect is having things to do. A backyard is nice, but we have so many parks and playgrounds and cafes and museums and kids' clubs within 15-20 minutes of us that I don't think there's any danger of kids getting bored. And all of that is available on foot or by tram. With the Deutschland-Ticket in Germany, you don't even need to worry about tickets, just hop in and go. As someone who moved here from the UK where these sorts of cities are much less common, the high density and accessible public transport is one of the reasons my wife and I ended up staying here to have children rather than moving back to the UK.

The benefits are that ASV / USV files are trivial to parse with simple string splitting since you don't have to worry about nesting and quoting.

Here's an example of what a USV looks like:

It's answered couple times but... The minimum frequency at where costs of these artisanal professional services stop being "part of donation fund that old guy steals from us" and tangibly becoming "actual cost of services" always ends up being higher than one expects.

No museum is framing 2000 arts/year. If they did, then it'll probably come down to more reasonable hourly rates + costs of materials.

This is factually not true. For example: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=111000...

The top 1% of highest income in Canada pays 21-22% of the taxes. Their share of the income is about 10%. So they "rich" are paying for services everyone else is getting.

The top 10% pay 54% (!) of the taxes. Their share of income is about 34%.

The top 0.1% pays about 8-9% of the taxes.

So in Canada the rich are absolutely paying for the services everyone else gets. That's before accounting for their indirect contributions to the economy by running businesses, employing people, taxes paid by companies, etc.

Maybe some random billionaire has some scheme that reduces their taxes. But most of the the rich pay way more taxes than others.

COT looks something like: “user has provided a lbreakdown with each category having ten items, but then says the breakdown contains 5 items each. I see some have 5 and some have 10.” And then continues trying to work out which one is the right one, whether it is a mistake, how it should handle it, etc. It can literally spend thousands of tokens on this.

That's not the whole story though. Whatever weapons are available in the UK, they're far harder to obtain than in the US. It's a mixture of both of these issues. Whenever I visit the USA, what always strikes me quite quickly, is just how many mentally ill people there are literally everywhere just roaming the streets, and how the non-mentally-ill people deal with them. I've only had my life threatened once in my life, and that was when a homeless man threatened to kill me in New York. No big deal in the USA, happens all the time, but quite difficult to understand how you guys accept this "way of life" and just let it be and choose to do nothing about it at all.

I have. I went for a long walk and I also talked to people today of varying opinions about the state of the country and of the event.

If you can link me a video of Kirk being thoughtful, kind, humble, and calling for peace and unity for all Americans and that we should work for a more accepting and loving democracy, I would be interested.

Not all people are good people. That doesn't justify political violence. It means we don't have to automatically speak kindly of people because they have passed.

> Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.

Here's a very recent example: Russia sending a drone swarm into Poland, and then making all sorts of cynical statements such as "those weren't even our drones" or "they were our drones but it was a false flag operation".

The Nazis and the Communists won enough seats between them in 1932 that it was impossible for Hindenburg to form a government without one or the other. Hitler didn't win a majority, but he won more seats than anyone else, which was enough to ultimately finagle his way to the Chancellorship through broadly legitimate means. I'd call that an electoral victory, albeit a weaselly one.

Of course, then the Reichstag caught fire, and that was about it for Weimar democracy. But up until that point, his political success came off the back of genuine popularity at the ballot box. He only managed to became Chancellor because enough people voted for him.

Not even then. You need to compare the end products, which are not the open weight models.

I don’t care whether the LLM can have "PhD level thoughts" (lol) or is able to code golf like a Facebook engineer. It needs to be able to do its task (so all the infrastructure around the model matters just as much as the model itself) efficiently (so small models have an advantage). There are billions of weights in general-purpose models that are irrelevant for specialised uses.

The way to go is efficient models adapted to their task. It’s exactly the same thing as for industrial robots. Geeks get excited every now and then about humanoid robots, but in the real life we don’t need robots to stand on two legs or our LLM to cite Shakespeare.

In my case, the criminals physically left because I had a firearm. That week the police response time was anywhere from three hours to three days. This was in Portland, Oregon and our car had been stolen three times before, my girlfriend‘s bike was also stolen and my car was broken into three times, my other car was totaled by a drunk driver without any repercussions. We left Portland shortly after meeting a British person who had been kidnapped and forced to withdraw money from ATMs.

I would love to live in a world where everybody has what they want but we don’t live in that world. That being said there is no excuse for somebody taking something that does not belong to them. I was deeply hurt by these experiences and forever changed in the way that I think and act. I learned that sometimes when I told people about the things that had happened to us, I felt that that person had sympathy for the criminals and no sympathy for me. I learned that it is a fact that police cannot be everywhere, they cannot react instantly, and even if they can react sometimes they won’t for political reasons. I still think of the time where I was sucker punched by some man on the street for no reason which is what initially lead me to purchase a firearm for self-defense. I can’t fix society, but I can protect myself and my loved ones.

For at least the last 5 or so years I've been right there with you with the same thoughts and concerns. I'm completely convinced after what I saw today that global social media platforms were and still are a mistake. Especially so for the younger generations that have never known a world without them.

Due to the pigeonhole principle they are inevitable. At least if the input space is bigger than the output, which may not be the case for passwords of course.

Still, even if they are shorter, if you do find a hash pre-image you don't actually know for absolute certain that what you found was the original input. Collisions are still possible.

In practical terms this doesn't really matter mostly. It's just good to be very clear about what you actually know when dealing with cryptography.

Nope. X is too slow to be useful except on local networks, and alternatives like FreeNX or xpra are difficulty and janky to set up. Also X is dying so you really mean something like waypipe or worse (which also jankily failed to run some external command when I last tried it).

But I don't want that anyway. I want something graphical that's actually integrated into the terminal.

>Ultimately everyone benefits. >It’s not about economics.

What about the local citizen who is clearly neither the migrant nor the capitalist, both of whom conduct wage arbitrage the local doesn't benefit from? How is that not economic and why is that assumed to be racist? Savannah is almost 50% Black https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savannah,_Georgia#Demographics but they can't employ a workforce that even maybe resembles the local demographics?

Why isn't it rational for the local citizens to see a business skirting the law to get American consumer dollars but avoid American wages and calculate that's not just not to their benefit, its to their detriment?
by matwood | 2025-09-11 06:17:29+00:00
I think the mistake you're making is assuming the entirety of all cities are rough areas. There are plenty of rough suburbs you don't want to live in either.

> She explained that that were she lived (Boston) you just couldn't safely wave at just anybody you passed.

I don't really understand this. It's well known people in the NE don't simply wave at everyone. I grew up in the south so it's odd to me to not ask any person I interact with how their day is going, but I've never seen it as some safety issue. Just different culturally.

> Do you want some drunk kid blasting his bass right outside your house at 11pm on a weeknight? (for hours, no less)

I'm not sure if this is alluding to race, so I'll ignore that part, but kids are going to be kids. Suburbs, city, doesn't matter - if you have teenagers around you'll have things like this. When we lived in a suburb my wife always complained about the kids doing this and I would always chuckle because at one point I was one of those kids ;)

If you take the beginning of the cosmos to be 1 second ago, the point where other galaxies will be unobservable is in just a few seconds (at T+7–8). We’ve only had civilization for about 700-800 nanoseconds. You could fit hundreds or even thousands of advanced civilizations in there and they’d never know the other existed.

This government has made big spectacle and promises on deportation. Though the government has seemingly denied there are reports that field offices need to make 75 arrests per day and failing to do so will lead to "accountability": https://immpolicytracking.org/policies/report-ice-directed-t...

This means there is a huge incentive to create spectacle out of arrests. So, that in case the field office lags behind, they can always point to the photo op - See how hard we were working there?

This might not hurt the government politically because supporters can see those hard hats and exclaim - See they were wearing hard hats, how were they not breaking the law?

But at the cost of creating an unnecessary diplomatic crisis. Even if there were visa issues, this puts South Korean government in a bind - they need to answer to their constituents. Being seen as incompetent and unable to save its citizen abroad is a sensitive topic in many countries.

Investments might be impacted as well. It seems to me that many Trump supporters think international politics requires blustering. But much of the work happens behind the scenes.

Let's look at one example.

The average income in Egypt is ~$1900 USD a year (it's probably worse now but this is a number I've seen). Low income threshold in Canada is about $20k (EDIT: CAD) a year and that's about the bottom 10%.

So not sure what your point is re: wild thing to think. Do you think the average Egyptian is better off than the low 10% Canadian?

How is it that because liberal democracies "control the world" that Egypt is forced to be an autocracy? Do they have no agency? If Liberal democracies so control the world how come some countries have been able to do better (China e.g.)

And it can make sense. A lot of people are packed in small space and commuting. Not exactly an uplifting part of the day. I can understand it's considered polite to try to keep quiet.

What's funny is where I live now in Italy (outside of the big tourists areas) is the exact opposite. Any line or idle time you have with random people will become a conversation. It's almost weird to not have a conversation.

Pity that whole thing with having a job, and wanting to get some better living standards.

People usually don't live in the suburbs by choice, they get pushed there by the higher classes that can afford the city.

Having lost access to the city center during my teenage years certainly gave me a perspective on those that talk from above, without worries about everyone else.

It happens, because itnworks well. For years and years, it allowed moderate Republicans to pretend their party goals are something they were not.

It allowed center to pretend to themselves both sides are the same. It allowed us all to to just dismiss those who actually read what conservatives say and plan as paranoid.

This dishonesty worked well and that is why it was used.

It was, but it punted in the conclusion...

> Mitchell in her paper compares modern AI to alchemy. It produces dazzling, impressive results but it often lacks a deep, foundational theory of intelligence.

> It’s a powerful metaphor, but I think a more pragmatic conclusion is slightly different. The challenge isn't to abandon our powerful alchemy in search of a pure science of intelligence.

But alchemy was wrong and chasing after the illusions created by the frauds who promoted alchemy held back the advancement of science for a long time.

We absolutely should have abandoned alchemy as soon as we saw that it didn't work, and moved to figuring out the science of what worked.

01. Wife rules (and wives rules, in cultures that support multiple), arbitrary, extensive, punitive.

02. HOA rules, not as extensive as #1, but still you are always doing something wrong. It could be fines for grass in the lawn 1.6mm higher, or drying clothes or growing the wrong kind of plants. You may have to demolish and rebuild the entire roof if you didn't pay attention to exact shade of color.

03. City and County rules.

04. State rules.

05. Federal rules.

06. International rules. But most people are not in diplomatic positions.

07. Interplanetary rules. Unfortunately, we are left out of these because we are thinking meat and nobody wants to acknowledge us. [1]

#5 takes 30 - 50% of your money (ss, medicare, futa, income) and you don't get any benefit out of it, #3 and #4 take 10 - 15% and you get public schools and school buses (in some places), #2 takes odd quantities of money like a pickpocket, #1 takes all your money and you are always doing something wrong. There are no more revolutions because men are exhausted after #1 and #2. #3 - #5 mostly want your money and let you live in peace (as long as you keep paying them).

You mean like Google? I can’t imagine ever searching just GitHub for software… I use a search engine and it’ll point me to GitHub or Gitlab or whatever frontend the software is published on.

I also find GitHub’s intra-project search to be so horrible that’s it’s quicker in the long run to just clone the project to my local machine and git grep there. And at least my local git doesn’t inexplicably choose to hide a few relevant results from me the way GitHub constantly does.

It took CNN three days after the video was already circulating and getting huge traction; before they reported on it themselves.

four days for NYT.

This is after the video had already been circulating for days and received a lot of attention, the killing happened on August 22nd and the video has been going around since the 5th of september: https://www.mediaite.com/media/conservatives-call-out-media-...

These same outlets reported on George Floyds death effectively immediately.

Mark Duggan was shot in London and the US MSM picked it up faster.

Not aware of anything regarding local news, but when one killing reaches international news and the other has to be already organically international news via social media before reporting happens: people start to make presumptions.

The numbers are fascinating. I kept some oddies like the sun one with both pins and giant ybcr jacks (from memory) because they are so odd. I kept one vga where I had like 4.

I now routinely chuck usb away unless I can show I don't have the combo, and even then it may be a keep one but which? Decision.

I curse camera makers. Nobody needed you to sub miniaturise your usb. I curse rechargeable device makers: the plethora of centre positive/negative and size/sex is ludicrous. Solved by wall warts and adapter sets.

I expect to add some more oddities: pci bus extenders, atx psu breakout stuff, molex stuff. Turns out those stable 5v and 12v are useful.

I kept one db9 and one Cisco serial and one rs232 for old times sake. I actually expect to use the usb to serial one day to rescue a sun ultra 10 with a dead MAC chip which can be recoded by serial console and then netboot.
