I think it's becoming clear that these mega AI corps are juggling with their models at inference time to produce unrealistically good results. By that it seems that they're just cranking up the compute beyond reasonable levels in order to gain PR points against each other.

The fact is most ordinary mortals never get access to a fraction of that kind of power, which explains the commonly reported issues with AI models failing to complete even rudimentary tasks. It's now turned into a whole marketing circus (maybe to justify these ludicrous billion-dollar valuations?).

I agree that bad-faith weaponization of discourse norms is a real problem these days. Unfortunately, unapologetic closed-mindedness is also a real problem these days. I would like to see more analysis that acknowledges both of these points and carefully considers how to thread the needle. Masnick obviously means well and is making reasonable points, but I think we're past the point in the discourse where it's possible to make progress while bringing up just one side of the tradeoff.

I will just share my struggles with Asus Tuf A15 (FA507UI) bought in March 2024. It was really frustrating, and I spent so many hours debugging. Unfortunately I wasn't as skilled to decompile dsdt/acpi, but all these keywords look familiar from my deep dives into the issue.

In the beginning I had sticky keyboard issue, with a button repeatedly triggered for no reason. This got fixed after one of the bios updates.

Later, for a while I had the stuttering issue when the GPU was in standby (when loaded in hybrid mode) [1]. I then switched from PopOS to Manjaro with a hope that newer kernel might fix it, and it did.

Today I'm struggling with a new issue - GPU sometimes gets disconnected, and requires system reboot to turn it on again. I generally use GPU for compute, not for graphics - so you don't see it until you do. New Nvidia drivers might have fixed this [2].

Wow, so it does. I just checked. Most of my subscriptions apparently do not have it turned on. The one that I found that does have it turned on, it's hidden behind a hamburger menu that's located next to, you guessed it, an AI button. Nice to see Google prioritizing their crappy AI integration over their content creators getting paid.

> Larry Ellison’s daughter is gay. Why do you think her brother and father are going to infuse Paramount with anti-gay bigotry?

Sorry, I'm speaking generally. The people in power broadly align with these policies. That means that when they gain control over a pillar of industry, they're broadly going to do influence it to some combination of those ends. The reason they gained power isn't to do those things. Ellison isn't taking control of TikTok to influence the Israel narrative. But when he takes control of it, as a result of the contours of powers that are MAGA, he will probably be forced to put forward an anti-Palestinian editorial bias.

There is a lot of tail wagging the dog conspiracy in this thread. I'm pushing back on that.

> 7) Go to bed early. This is the most difficult one for me. I’m trying to put away my phone by 9 pm and switch to reading in Kindle, but man it is hard!

It is a lot easier to control when you wake up over when you go to sleep. Set an alarm, always get up when the alarm goes off and eventually you will be tired earlier at night and fall asleep.

Thanks for the pleasant reply!

I thought I was not using the CDN as I had self-hosted the static sources, but some image sources seemed to be imported from the CDN in stylesheets in the version of data tables I linked.

I just updated my application from v1.11 to v1.13 without any trouble (aside from some minor aesthetic changes to padding), so at the very least I now benefit from your styled elements.

Thanks for your dedication on this package, I’ve used it for years and it works very well.

But working with complex numbers I hardly if ever write (a, b) for a+ib, while I use the "escape hatches" all the time. They solve equations that have no real solution, they give me paths from x=-1 to x=1 that don't cross the origin, etc. There's only so much to learn about C as a vector space, while the theory tying it to R (and even N) is very deep.

Fitness is hard because there’s very little to zero immediate benefit particularly if you are out of shape. I also think for many things, particularly those related to lifestyles and behaviors, the goal is to do it often enough so that it becomes a habit. Most people probably don’t enjoy brushing their teeth, but we also don’t think much about it, we just do it. I feel the same way with running, I don’t think I enjoy it, certainly not all the time like in winter, but it became a morning routine that is easy to execute.

Waymo uses remote operators to resolve situations that the car can't handle on its own (maybe that includes train crossings), so it doesn't need to be fully self-driving: https://waymo.com/blog/2024/05/fleet-response/

The SFO permit also involves an initial phase using human safety drivers in the car: https://www.sf.gov/news-mayor-lurie-takes-key-step-toward-la...

Waymo actually works because they don't insist on automating what they cannot automate safely yet.

> Regardless of how much you're personally invested in the topic, this should break the hearts of everyone who dreamed that the international community could hold each other legally accountable.

Since the mid 90s the world has proven to turn their head on the other side or pick good/bad narratives out of mere convenience.

It started with the Yugoslavian wars, it absolutely exploded after 9/11 when US could straight up lie about non existing WMD and drag 10 of their allies to fight Iraq "for reasons". It confirmed itself in a countless number of conflicts nobody cared about in Africa, Middle East, Asia.

People are adaptable. Likes and dislikes and comfort zones are all malleable. I never liked working out in the slightest. Never stuck to any sort of "gym routine" more than a few days. Did most of the Couch to 5k program in college but never kept running. Just...never liked it. I had lots of friends in high school and college who ran Cross Country, and was always a bit baffled about the appeal. It seemed terrible, honestly.

When my friend randomly suggested that we try a very ambitious hiking route, I knew it would absolutely suck if I didn't train for it. I got a gym membership and told myself I'd at the very least set foot in the gym 7 days a week for the first few weeks, just to build the habit of going. I was motivated to make sure I didn't slack off and ruin the hike for the group by being undertrained. A few months of that and the hike went great.

When we got back, though, I found it felt weird to not go to the gym in the mornings before work (as a decidedly NON-morning person my friends and family looked at me like I'd grown a second head when they heard me say I was working out before work). I started running outside on days the gym was crowded, and it felt good! In the nearly eight years since then, there have been only a handful of weeks where I didn't go for a run—I genuinely really enjoy it, no motivational tricks required.

Too late to edit now, but wanted to add a note:

Knowing that cos(45) == sqrt(2)/2 seems like something you would need to memorize, but if you just draw an isosceles right triangle with sides equal to 1 and use the Pythagorean Theorem you'll find that the hypotenuse is sqrt(2)/2.

More information on OpenAI's result (which seems better than DeepMind's) from the X thread:

> our OpenAI reasoning system got a perfect score of 12/12

> For 11 of the 12 problems, the system’s first answer was correct. For the hardest problem, it succeeded on the 9th submission. Notably, the best human team achieved 11/12.

> We had both GPT-5 and an experimental reasoning model generating solutions, and the experimental reasoning model selecting which solutions to submit. GPT-5 answered 11 correctly, and the last (and most difficult problem) was solved by the experimental reasoning model.

I'm assuming that "GPT-5" here is a version with the same model weights but higher compute limits than even GPT-5 Pro, with many instances working in parallel, and some specific scaffolding and prompts. Still, extremely impressive to outperform the best human team. The stat I'd really like to see is how much money it would cost to get this result using their API (with a realistic cost for the "experimental reasoning model").

Les facteurs de stress psychologiques sont des facteurs de risque courants du trouble neurologique fonctionnel, mais ils sont souvent absents. Quatre entités — les crises fonctionnelles, les troubles fonctionnels du mouvement, le vertige postural perceptuel persistant et le trouble cognitif fonctionnel — présentent des similarités sur le plan de l’étiologie et de la physiopathologie, et constituent des variantes d’un trouble à l’interface entre la neurologie et la psychiatrie. Ces quatre entités possèdent des caractéristiques distinctives et peuvent être diagnostiquées à l’aide d’études neurophysiologiques cliniques et d’autres biomarqueurs. La physiopathologie du trouble neurologique fonctionnel comprend une hyperactivité du système limbique, le développement d’un modèle interne de symptômes dans le cadre d’une approche de codage prédictif, ainsi qu’un dysfonctionnement des réseaux cérébraux qui confèrent au mouvement son caractère volontaire. Les données disponibles soutiennent une prise en charge multidisciplinaire adaptée, pouvant inclure des approches thérapeutiques physiques et psychologiques.

I sympathize with the sensitivity of the topic and what dog-whistling can look like. However, we're discussing media that people consume and the control that people have over that media. One of the most critical topics being controlled by media right now is the genocide in Gaza. And we're looking at a large section of media, including TikTok, being controlled by someone who not only denies that a genocide is happening, but is also complicit in it with their military contracts with Israel.

I think this is all relevant to the topic at hand.

I think it's a compromise. Personally, I believe something like Firejail or bwrap can make your system much more secure while introducing minimal inconveniences.

Other things to consider are a userspace firewall and securing Xorg, which is kinda tough at the minute unless you migrate to Wayland.

The Unix security model is outdated, and we should be at the very least upgrading to something like that.

Since it hasn't been mentioned here yet: I wonder if the multiple-memories feature will somehow allow to avoid the extra copy that's currently needed when mapping a WebGPU resource. This mapping is available in a separate ArrayBuffer object which isn't accessible from WASM without calling into JS and then copying from the ArrayBuffer into the WASM heap and back.

Multiple WASM memories and Clang's/LLVM's address space feature sound like they should be able to solve that problem, but I'm not sure if it is as trivial as it sounds...

> Only boomers in the US right wing have a net favorable view of Israel

One, source? Because it's broader than that.

Two, you're measuing sign but not magnitude. A majority of Americans now have a negative view of Israel. A vast majority of Americans are unwilling to prioritise this issue in elections. (To the degree there are folks willing to do so, they're in deep-blue cities. Their power is in Democrat primaries. Not in general elections, and certainly not over the GOP.)

I recently found a weird trick to motivate myself to do things I don't want to do. Instead of thinking of the outcome of this task (which I probably don't care much about since I don't want to do it in the first place), I think about the fact that doing things I don't want to do makes me better at doing things I don't want to do, which is a desirable outcome for me. Your mileage may vary.

I suspect you would specifically have to target non profits and b corps with your marketing.

But even then the perpetual problem in business is that what people are willing to tell you they want isn’t what they want or need, and they will shift the goalposts on you after they sign up. Cognitive dissonance will become deafening.

Years ago we used to talk regularly about firing customers. My read was that was always about ridding yourselves of the ones who pushed you into becoming someone you couldn’t stand to look at in the mirror. Eventually some of your customers will want the same cyberstalking features they see advertised by another vendor and they will forget why they can’t have it. They’ll sign up with someone who lies to them better than you do.

No, the component model proposal is not part of the Wasm 3.0 release. Proposals only make it into a Wasm point release once they reach stage 5, and the component model is still under development and so is not trying to move through the phases yet.

Unlike any of the proposals which became part of Wasm 3.0, the component model does not make any changes to the core Wasm module encoding or its semantics. Instead, it’s designed as a new encoding container which contain core Wasm modules, and adds extra information alongside each module describing its interface types and how to instantiate and link those modules. By keeping all of these additions outside of core Wasm, we can build implementations out of any plain old Wasm engine, plus extra code that instantiates and links those modules, and converts between the core wasm ABI to higher level interface types. The Jco project https://github.com/bytecodealliance/jco does exactly that using the common JS interface used by every web engine’s Wasm implementation. So, we can ship the component model on the web without web engines putting in any work of their own, which isn’t possible with proposals which add or change core wasm.

Even Sam Altman himself thinks we’re in a bubble, and he ought to have a good sense of the wind direction here.

I think the contradiction here can be reconciled by how these tests don’t tend to run on the typical hardware constraints they need to be able do this at scale. And herein lies a large part of the problem as far as I can tell; in late 2024, OpenAI realized they had to rethink GPT-5 since their first attempt became too costly to run. This delayed the model and when it finally released, it was not a revolutionary update but evolutionary at best compared to o3. Benchmarks published by OpenAI themselves indicated a 10% gain over o3 for God knows how much cash and well over a year of work. We certainly didn’t have those problems in 2023 or even 2024.

DeepSeek has had to delay R2, and Mistral has had to delay Mistral 3 Large, teased within weeks back in May. No word from either about what’s going on. DS is said to move more to Huawei and this is behind a delay but I don’t think it’s entirely clear it has nothing to do with performance issues.

It would be more strange to _not_ have people speculate about stagnation or bubbles given these events and public statements.

Personally, I’m not sure if stagnation is the right word. We’re seeing a lot,of innovation in toolsets and platforms surrounding LLM’s like Codex, Claude Code, etc. I think we’ll see more in this regard and that this will provide more value than the core improvements to the LLM’s themselves in 2026.

And as for the bubble, I think we are in one but mostly because the market has been so incredibly hot. I see a bubble not because AI will fall apart but because there are too many products and services right now in a golden rush era. Companies will fail but not because AI suddenly starts failing us but due to saturation.

Regarding Z-homing being last - usually endstop positions are on Z-, not Z+, so they do a bit of a hop (2-10mm upwards Z) before the X and Y homing so they don't crash the head. If your Z endstop is on Z-, you can home that first since you know the head is out of the way.

EDIT: to be specific, this is for "bed-slinger" printers, but the concept is the same for fixed height tool head printers (eg where the bed is what's raised and lowered).

It's important to look closely at the details of how these models actually do these things.

If you look at the details of how Google got gold at IMO, you'll see that AlphaGeometry only relies on LLMs for a very specific part of the whole system, and the LLM wasn't the core problem solving system in play.

Most of AlphaGeometry is standard algorithms at play solving geometry problems using known constraints. When the algorithmic system gets stuck, it reaches out to LLMs that were fine tuned specifically for creating new geometric constraints. So the LLM would create new geometric constraints and pass that back to the algorithmic parts to get it unstuck, and repeat.

Without more details, it's not clear if this win is also the Gpt-5 and Gemini models we use, or specially fine-tuned models that are integrated with other non-LLM and non-ML based systems to solve these.

Not being solved purely by LLM isn't a knock on it, but with the current conversations going on today with LLMs, these are heavily being marketed as "LLMs did this all by themselves", which doesn't match with a lot of the evidence I've personally seen.

In my experience, full body sports (krav maga in my case) are the exception here. It's super easy to stay lean if you eat normally and do this kind of thing. My explanation for this is that the body adapts very well to using a single set of muscles because it expects to have to do it for a long time, like when hunting or gathering, but full body means you are fighting for your life. I think this is also why lifting heavy works so well too. (I have no credentials or training in this area, just my own xp, so treat this as wild speculation of course.)

What I listed encompasses many things. You can find lectures on philosophy, biology, anatomy, psychology, physics, Russian literature, religion, history, or whatever topic you're interested in. It's more about depth of information and level of expertise of the presenter vs. "lower rung click bait garbage". Information that demands your full attention for an extended period of time and expects you'll put in effort to engage with it instead of just throwing gimmicks at you to hold a piece of your attention before you click away.

Or if you want to enjoy some slop, then apparently we'll all get plenty of that if the smart people block malware, so no problem.

Generally speaking, something with wide appeal is going to be trash anyway because most people aren't going to want to (or will be unable to) engage with any given topic at more than a superficial level. e.g. compare Andrew Ng's Coursera MOOC to problem sets you can find from his real class at Stanford. It is obvious that he watered down the information hard for Coursera. Almost every class on those MOOC sites is of the "X for non-X majors" variety at best (and that's for people who are motivated enough to self-learn!), which IMO is why it could never truly be disruptive. The "creators" people are talking about are generally this except even more targeted at mass audiences.

Even for people who are interested in "smart" stuff, 100x more people will watch some 10 minute video of surface level discussion with doodles about algebraic geometry[0] and then move onto another 10 minute video vs. putting in the work to engage with 15+ hours of lectures on the subject from a Fields Medalist[1]. World-class researchers provide graduate level educational materials for free (which is awesome), but they could never succeed as "content creators" because any given video will only get ~1k views after years of being up.

I think you're being silly to be so insistent about this. 95% of Go packages are hosted on Github, a centralized hosting platform. The fact that they install via the git protocol (or do they? do they just use https to check out?) is immaterial.

95% of Python packages are installed from PyPI, but just like Go can also install from non-Github sources, Python supports installing from other non PyPI indexes[0] or even from a Git repository directly[1] like Go.

> what Go calls a package is a collection of source files in the same directory

What is it that you imagine Python or NPM packages consist of? Hint: A Python .whl file is just a folder in a zip archive (Python also supports source distributions directly analogous to Go)
