No, you need a lot more complexity if you really wanted to represent it semantically. The assumption that people in the past used calendars with sequentially numbered years you just need to offset, is simply wrong.

You have things like "in the Xth year of the reign of King Y", where we can easily relate multiple entries with different values for X, but don't actually know which CE years they correspond to. Even weirder is the Roman habit of recording "the year of the consulship of X and Y", which doesn't even allow you to relate any two different years at all without a reference table (which we don't have completely). And no, "years from the foundong of the city" wasn't a thing.

Yeah I’m not seeing any evidence that this actually works. I would’ve like to see some testing where they intentionally introduce a bug (ideally a tricky bug in a part of code that isn’t directly changed by the diff) and see if Claude catches it.

A good middle ground could be to allow the diff to land once the “AI quick check” passed, then keep the full test suite running in the background. If they run them side by side for a while and see that the AI quick check caught the failing test every time, I’d be convinced.

> And that all-nighter? It comes with a fucked up and unproductive morning the day after.

Yea I don't think I've ever pulled an all-nighter that was "worth it" outside of school. School is temporary and you're probably only pulling all-nighters your last year.

But work is different. You are working for the majority of your life. If you set your standard of life to prioritize work over your mental AND physical health, you're not going to make it past retirement (if you haven't already burnt out).

Maybe I am oversimplifying it, but isn’t the reason that they are lossy map of worlds knowledge and this map will never be fully accurate unless it is the same size as the knowledge base.

The ability to learn patterns and generalize from them adds to this problem, because people then start using it for usecases it will never be able to solve 100% accurately (because of the lossy map nature).

>While the study does not show that acetaminophen directly causes neurodevelopmental disorders,

_magic statement_.

Because tylenol is often used to treat a symptom like inflammation, that is where the problem could really lie and needs more studying. Inflammation in the human body causes tons of damage.

Shit, you know why measles is serious in adults? Sure pretty every adult can shrug it off, BUT. It causes mass inflammation in the human body, and because of that, it can and does make men sterile because inflammation kills the testes ability to produce sperm.

I agree the outcome was clear. And this was a feudal system with an Emperor, and a culture of extreme adherence to culture.

As in, Kamikazis because ordered, honour in death, or killing yourself with your own sword. Not really a culture of capitulation. Most of their cities were already firebombed, as you elude to, some more than once, yet there was still no surrender.

Without surrender, a country isn't really done. Leave it be, and they'll arm and rebuild, still at war with you. Invade, and your troops die, for a standing army still existed. Japan also had colonies, islands, resources.

And of course without surrender, even if you occupy, now you have insurgents.

It's hard to view the world through the eyes of even 80 years ago.

War weary, endless soldiers lost already, an unsurrendering Japan, and a way to put an end to it...

I went to a seminar a lot of years back. The grifter on stage was hawking a product on how to invest in venture capital or something. The pitch was "got no money? Use other people's money! Pay $300 to learn how"

I don't know how true it is, as I am not about to take this grifters sales pitch at face value, but given that the grifter exhibited a lot of traits that I see in some of these rich investor people, I suspect that some investors actually use other people's money to invest, in some way that my plebe mind just cannot fathom.

Yes, React’s main idea is f(state) -> UI; but what’s returned from render is a declarative specification of what the UI should be. It’s up to React (and library authors) to make sure the UI ends up as we specify without our app logic needing to be concerned with how that happens. I view managing transition out animations for a component removed from the render tree the same way: I’m happy if the incidental complexity is encapsulated in a library (either a third party one or something I write myself), rather than spread across the whole app.

There are many high quality third party tools to help with this, such as Motion’s <AnimatePresence> (https://motion.dev/docs/react-animate-presence). I haven’t used the library you mentioned, but it seems somewhat unmaintained and isn’t compatible with react-dom@19.

First party support is coming to React with the new <ViewTransition> component (https://react.dev/reference/react/ViewTransition).

If you insist that only the React maintainers are allowed to diverge DOM state from the render tree or write code you don’t understand, you can adopt it today from react{,-dom}@experimental. It’s been available there since April (https://react.dev/blog/2025/04/23/react-labs-view-transition...).

> with assertions such as Israel shouldn't exist

A state committing genocide shouldn't exist. We disbanded Nazi Germany, the same should happen to the genocidal Zionist Israeli state.

At this very moment we have witnessed:

- the targeting of journalists (war crime)

- starving of the civilian population (war crime)

- bombing hospitals (war crime)

- targeting of children (war crime)

- shooting humanitarian aid seekers (war crime)

- illegally settling land that belongs to Palestine and forcing its rightful owners out off it (war crime)

All these war crimes together are what makes what Israel is doing a genocide. And the leading experts on genocide agree:

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cde3eyzdr63o

Israel has shown repeatedly that it cant stop genociding, so it has the same amount of right to exist as Nazi Germany: zero. Either stop the genocide or perish.

Always surprises me as an American in the UK how hostile the UK is to paracetamol. You buy it in like 300-pill packages in the US, and I've literally never heard of anyone having a single accidental over-dose. I'm not sure I've ever heard of anyone intentionally overdosing on it, but I guess I can't rule that out since I'm aware of who 1-2 people personally have taken "a handful of pills".

The efficacy window of driving cars is pretty narrow, and represents existential risk to third parties. But as with cars, sometimes the balance favors wide availability.

... and if you have the money, you can use 3 out of 4 PCIe5 slots for CXL expansion. So that could be 2TB DRAM + 1.5TB DRAM-over-CXL, all cache coherent thanks to CXL.mem.

I guess there are some use cases for this for local users, but I think the biggest wins could come from the CXL shared memory arrays in smaller clusters. So you could, for example, cache the entire build-side of a big hash join in the shared CXL memory and let all other nodes performing the join see the single shared dataset. Or build a "coherent global buffer cache" using CPU+PCI+CXL hardware, like Oracle Real Application Clusters has been doing with software+NICs for the last 30 years.

Edit: One example of the CXL shared memory pool devices is Samsung CMM-B. Still just an announcement, haven't seen it in the wild. So, CXL arrays might become something like the SAN arrays in the future - with direct loading to CPU cache (with cache coherence) and being byte-addressable.

Inevitably, I can't find it simply spelled out on a government website, but the practice up to now has been that engineers can come to USA to under the visa waiver program to service or install machinery.

From an immigration law firm:

"Citizens of many foreign countries, including most European citizens, may travel as tourists or on business under the U.S. Visa Waiver Program without any formal visa application, and only registration under the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) is required. Under the program, a European executive may visit a corporate subsidiary or attend a trade fair. Similarly, when speciﬁcally required by the purchase contract, technical experts who have to travel to the United States to install, service or repair equipment or machinery sold by a foreign company to a U.S. buyer can travel under the Visa Waiver Program. Travel for technicians and engineers installing foreign-made equipment in the United States is limited to a maximum of 90 days per stay and has to be in performance of a contract of sale of foreign equipment to the United States requiring installation (or repair service under warranty) at the customer site. The installation cannot include construction work, except for supervision or training of U.S. workers to perform construction".

> The only side-effect is euphoria. Please do not mention respiratory depression here, that is a non-issue

I like this point because it is complete gibberish. If you simply do not mention the side effect that makes a drug lethal, it sounds a lot like the drug does not have lethal side effects. Obviously we cannot do that with acetaminophen though, we must talk about hepatoxicity when it comes to that drug.

On the one hand we have a drug that can cause both mental and physiological dependence and addiction (so what), has an admitted side effect that encourages some users to escalate their dosage beyond medical guidance (who cares), and can cause you to either stop breathing or aspirate and choke on your own vomit if you take too much (that part is a little tricky so we just proceed as if that is not the case)

On the other hand you have a drug that is hepatoxic at several multiples of its recommended dosage. Obviously the second one is more dangerous becau

Is there anyone who has a credible take on how we avoid an effectively zero-privacy future? AI can identify people by their walk, no facial recognition required, and now technology can detect heartbeats through variations in wifi signals. It seems guaranteed we are heading for a future where someone knows everything. The only choice is whether it's a select few, or everyone. The latter seems clearly preferable.

> The bombers had been built by hand because the factory was also making other aircraft on the assembly line, and the B-29s differed in hundreds of tiny details. No B-29 in those first batches weighed exactly the same, a worrying state for such a highly complicated aircraft. Only 20% of the "finished" aircraft could be flown out of the factory. Badly fitted windows and observation panels bled air or were distorted, and many electrical plugs in the plane's 16km (10 miles) of wiring didn't work properly.

Any European today still wonders why Tesla workers in the US still cannot hold a screwdriver, producing widely worrying results and claiming that the product is a valid car.

Here in Australia theres a never ending steam of complaints about taxis managing to bill passengers extraordinary amounts. From taking a route that deliberately includes a highway leg thats expensive to correct (screws tourists), to demanding higher fares, to card skimming, to outright just not displaying the taxi licences so you cant complain and have no idea which driver was being creepy.

Uber at least has fixed rates from what was displayed and there are logs of which driver was doing dodgy stuff.

> Unfortunately, haters minusing comments, but don't add anything valuable

Tell me about it. It happens so often that I am very reluctant to leave comments now, especially on topics that I know people have already made up their mind and are not willing to discuss it with an open mind. That said, I did just leave a comment about something I probably should not have, but oh well.

Is it really Clojure that uses BEAM? I thought it was a JVM-based language, I would have to look this up.

BTW OCaml finally has multicore support, which was a long time coming.

As for GC, you might find OxCaml interesting or to your liking: https://oxcaml.org/[1].

This enrages me so fucking much.

When does my wallet slide slightly from the magnetic center and then back into place most often? When I’m getting it out of my pocket.

When am I trying to just use my goddamn phone the most? When I get it out of my pocket.

So, it ends up being that ~50% of the time I need to use my phone, I have to wait for that goddamn 3 second animation first.

If some engineer introduced a 3 second regression in the time for Face ID to unlock your phone 50% of the time, it would be noticed and fixed immediately. But call that 3 second regression a “surprise and delight animation” and suddenly Apple designers love it and force it on you.

CXL is a standard for compute and I/O extension over PCIe signaling which has been around for a few years, with a couple of available RAM boards (from SMART and others).

I think the main bridge chipsets come from Microchip (this one) and Montage.

This Gigabyte product is interesting since it’s a little lower end than most AXL solutions - so far AXL memory expansion has mostly appeared in esoteric racked designs like the particularly wild https://www.servethehome.com/cxl-paradigm-shift-asus-rs520qa... .

My understanding is that Japan had agreed to surrender under the conditions that they got to keep their emperor, but the US had rejected that looking for an unconditional surrender*. A lot of the research around that time indicates the drivers for dropping the nukes included both sending a message to the Soviets and the overall cost of the Manhattan project (and an unwillingness to let the war end without “recouping” some of that cost). Whether the Japanese surrendered when they did or surrendered a couple months later, though, Japanese surrender was largely expected at that point.

One can argue about the increased cost in terms of lives if the bombs weren’t used, but my understanding is that by that time, we’re talking about shortening the war by maybe months, but certainly not years.

(*Worth noting that in the final terms, the Japanese did keep their emperor, but the US was demanding an unconditional surrender as a matter of principle.)

I like that philosophy. 40 focused hours. My wife is an accountant and so she has to work 65 hour weeks during tax season (Jan to April). I think it makes sense to work overtime in this case (and she gets paid time and a half). And even then based on what she's told me about her workdays, most of the time is spent doing bullshit (important but bullshit work like scanning papers or hounding clients to send in paperwork). I feel like there are tangible things that management could do that would reduce the amount of bullshit, like actually adhering to the document submission deadline, or requiring clients to scan paperwork themselves, but whatever, I don't know anything about running an accounting firm.

But 72 hour weeks for a shitty AI wrapper for the same salary that someone working 40h weeks? Pass.

Example ban in Finland: https://www.uber.com/fi-/blog/uberpop-tauolle/

After few years of operation, government realised it was serious and pressured Uber to stop taxi operations « Uber pop », until disruption in legislation got through.

I used Uber from first year it was here. As the service got popular with young adults and the people took notice and public debate began, the police was instructed to fine Ubers. Then the drivers asked us passengers to sit up front and pretend we were friends. (Not sure if the app had instructions related to this or not.) Once the legislation change was clear, they closed operation officially for the brief period, as stated in the article.

I just thought it was exciting at the time..

You misunderstood me, then.

Therapeutic doses of opiates do not cause respiratory depression, overdoses do, similarly to how acetaminophen overdoses cause hepatotoxicity, except this is not true, because regular consumption of acetaminophen causes hepatotoxicity, too, whereas opiates, when taken as prescribed, do not cause respiratory depression, in case of opiates, ONLY overdoses do, and therein lies the huge difference.

And then we did not even mention NSAIDs which cause from ulcers to cardiovascular events, even if taken as prescribed.

As for addiction, I would not like to get into the topic of addiction because a lot of people have an obsolete view on it and people already have their mind made up with regarding to it. Similarly to how my parents' generation think mental illnesses do not exist or that you can just "think away" depression.

> The distinction I want to emphasize is that they don't just predict words statistically. They model the world, understand different concepts and their relationships, can think on them, can plan and act on the plan, can reason up to a point, in order to generate the next token.

This sounds way over-blown to me. What we know is that LLMs generate sequences of tokens, and they do this by clever ways of processing the textual output of millions of humans.

You say that, in addition to this, LLMs model the world, understand, plan, think, etc.

I think it can look like that, because LLMs are averaging the behaviours of humans who are actually modelling, understanding, thinking, etc.

Why do you think that this behaviour is more than simply averaging the outputs of millions of humans who understand, think, plan, etc.?

I think expectations matter quite a lot.

For example, when practicing a practical skill, the actual practice session itself will likely suck. Not only will you see no progress, you may even feel you're going backwards. You'll also get mentally and physically tired and quickly kinda feel like shit, even if it's something like penmanship.

The catch is that the progress happens between sessions when the brain is processing the new training data. If you don't understand and expect this, it's very easy to bounce off almost anything. If you do understand that this is the expectation, then it's much easier to accept the discomfort and stick to it long enough to actually begin to improve.

> Further, a potential causal relationship is consistent with temporal trends—as acetaminophen has become the recommended pain reliever for pregnant mothers, the rates of ADHD and ASD have increased > 20-fold over the past decades

I do not have at all the right background to evaluate this research so treat this opinion for what it's worth, but it seems incautious for the authors to close with this note near the end. People like RFK are looking for an explanation for that 20-fold increase. But the hazard ratios in the studies with positive results seem to be along the lines of 1.05-1.20. They do also note changes in diagnosis criteria before this sentence, but it still seems like if they're going to mention a 20-fold increase, they should be even more explicit that any association with increased Tylenol use could only ever explain a very small part of that.
