Actually, context matters. This particular comment came in the context of several people high in the trump administration voicing the _baseless_ opinion that trans people are a unique cause of mass shootings. This is clearly being done with the intention of stripping the right to bear arms from a vulnerable group of people. Charlie Kirk's response was bigoted, because it was to further his argument that trans people specifically should not be allowed to own guns.

When 98% of mass shootings are carried out by men and less than 1% are carried out by trans people [0], it is - in fact - bigoted to blame the tiny, tiny minority.

It’s definitely contrived, and Jubilee for sure seems to make clickbait-y videos. I don’t particularly fault them for it, it seems to be the arena they are playing in.

But I do think they are fairly neutral, and they get people who disagree to talk to each other, and I appreciate that.

I watched another video of theirs where it was inverted, with many conservative students debating one liberal pundit, and of course the students did worse- they’re just a bunch of kids. But good to be exposed to another point of view.

Best of luck on your hedges and roof! That sounds far more worthwhile than watching that video.

Devices on a bus architecture like RAM buses can be wired completely parallel to the same pins on the same bus master(i.e. DRAM controller), with only one separate chip select lines each. The address/data lines will not conflict so long that the component expected to speak/listen can be explicitly specified(there are other ways to specify as well).

GPU cores used in these double RAM NVIDIA GPUs are known to have that feature implemented and configurable in signed VBIOS, for some reasons. It only allows single or double RAM configurations as choices, not e.g. 4 separate lines for quadruple RAM, but double configurations can be done with a properly built and assembled PCB if you can source the cores. And there are tons of back alley trained skilled BGA repair specialists in China for mysterious reasons, so that's what they're doing.

Dude, that quote is out of context. He said he prefers "sympathy" to "empathy" and went on to call out those who push selective empathy when it suits their political agenda. He was right.

In my country Australia, there's a backlash on self-destructive "empathy" decisions in criminal courts. Violent repeat offenders are granted bail or short sentences for violent crime, why? Because the judge empathises with their traumatised upbringing, for example when they come from a war-torn country. This pattern of "justice" has spiked crime rates including violent home invasions and stabbings.

Do you think it should have been said then or do you think it shouldn't be said now?

Do you think it matters that Charlie kirk did a lot of mean talking and bin ladin directed a lot of violence?

For my bit, I really appreciated dang's top post. I don't agree that there are no differences between a terrorist leader and a right wing troll, but I do think that anger makes us collectively less and we could all benefit from an extra moment before scribbling an idea onto the internet.

As someone who has worked all over the world with several different cultures and types of people, including in war zones, saying “the rest of the world shakes their head” is an extremely broad generalization. Different countries have very different experiences with guns, governments, and resistance. I'm sure you have your own perspective that is valuable, but speaking for “the rest of the world” comes across as dismissive and small minded, rather than engaging with the point that was made.

It's bad faith because womanhood, like (for instance) adulthood, is a social construct. If I ask you, "what is an adult," there's no simple and rigorous answer to that question. You can say, "you're an adult when everyone agrees you're an adult," but that's a bit circular, and it risks making you sound dumb. Or you could get into different cultural ideas of adulthood, what happens when someone who's an adult in one culture enters a different culture where they're considered a child, the role that legal systems plays in establishing an age of majority, the social agreements that give that legal system the power to enforce certain rules based on that age, and so forth. But that's not going to come over very well in a snappy debate video where the other guy gets to edit the footage of whatever you say.

If a progressive were running the debate, they would never ask a question like, "what is a woman." They don't care that Republicans think trans women are men. They'd ask, "why should your conception of womanhood be used to determine who gets put in a women's jail when putting transgender women in male prisons measurably increases prison violence?"

"What is a woman" is a nebulous cultural question with no real importance compared to the actual lives and freedoms of transgender women.

I installed Debian 13 on my laptop from 2014. It's got an NVIDIA K1100M. The latest proprietary driver supporting it is 390 which is not supported by Debian 13. It was by Debian 11. I skipped 12. I run Nouveau and Wayland and everything that didn't work with Wayland on Debian 11 works now, with one unfortunate exception: backlight control is broken, which means that I'm stuck with 100% brightness. That's probably a problem with the kernel or the driver because it happens with X11 too.

X11 has a workaround for that because I can use gamma correction to simulate brightness control and make it work with night light. There was no way to do it in Wayland: they stomp on each other and undo whatever the other software did. So I'm back to X11 and frankly I don't notice any difference.

If you have more luck with your graphic card you'll be probably OK with Wayland. Anyway the X11 session is there, logout from Wayland and login using X11.

I've been to Pontevedra and actually I thought it was something of a public transport hub! I was there because I was changing buses.

Looking at Google Maps, there's a bus (XG628007) every 20 minutes from Marin to Pontevedra that takes 18 minutes for 7 km, along with at least two other bus routes which are less frequent and less direct.

How much more public transport could you ask for? There are subway stops in Manhattan with less frequent service. It's not practical to build rail to every village. An express bus might save some commuters 10 minutes, but it looks like the population is spread out along the coast so this would not be a huge benefit.

Maybe the buses are always late or cancelled, but that seems like a cultural problem rather than the mayor "forgetting" to provide them.

I saw a body cam video on Youtube yesterday (which wasn't outrageous, so I doubt it was one of the fake ones.) It might have been edited to seem more out-of-line than it was, but I don't think it matters.

In it, a wife had died in the shower, and the husband and his father had been inside the house while the shower was on, but "had not talked to her."

Naturally, suspicions arose and they wanted to talk more to the husband, but the way the officers continued to rile up the father, who was probably in chock after finding out his son might be a murderer, was just pure unprofessionalism. They could have taken a step back, or avoided being four officers against one father, or any other obvious technique to de-escalate, but nope. Just continue pushing, arguing and believing that "doing our job" never means re-assessing the approach.

Some great discussion on twitter: https://x.com/thinkymachines/status/1965826369721623001

Seems a buried lede is that on-policy RL is unlocked by bitwise identical results between training and sampling. I'm not an expert here but my understanding is that this would allow for stronger guarantees about deployment/training alignment for the RL training that the labs already do.

I don't fully understand the BigMath example though. They show that off-policy RLVR requires off-policy correction, which avoids divergence, but is suboptimal because it results in noisy rewards. Then they say "we fixed the sampler and trainer numerical mismatch, which allows for on-policy RL, look how much better it is." It's not clear to me whether this is an artificial example that deliberately uses different trainer/sampler setups, or if it's actually impossible to have the same numerics between trainer/sampler without their fixes (even if we use same batch size, no atomics, etc.).

Given that a collision is technically what they're looking for.

They're just limiting the input to a "reasonable" range to find one faster.

Side note: A quick look through the iOS keyboard shows another 25+ characters that can be reasonably expected to match between operating systems. I need to try using some of them in my passwords. Going from 70^(length) to 100^(Length) is nothing to scoff at.
by snthpy | 2025-09-11 05:55:42+00:00
So ASCII actually had dedicated characters for this, 0x1C-0x1F. The problem is that they are non-printing.

Unicode has rendered analogs, U+241C-U+241F, but they take more bytes to encode, which can significantly increase file size in large USV files.

So my ideal would be to use ASV files rendered as USV in editors.

> When you're around other people, even ones who share your beliefs, and say 'I think we should murder that guy!' then in most crowds someone is going to say 'Hey fellow, are you okay?'

There are crowds where that guy is not there, is not heard, or doesn't speak up at all.

In those crowds, people reach out for their pitchforks and outright murder people.

If you take a frank look at history, you will notice those are all too frequent. Even in this century.

No major changes professionally other than that I have become a bit more careful about keeping my geopolitical opinions to myself. Also having some coworkers living in the Middle East makes the two recent Qatari strikes feel scarier. I had a lot of trouble doing anything during the week of the Iran war besides refreshing the news. I felt quite awkward around my Iranian coworkers knowing that my tax dollars were funding the bombing of their families.

It has taken a small but noticeable toll on my personal life. Amongst my family we find ourselves talking about the state of the occupation and how hopeless it makes us feel about humanity probably once a week. I can see my liberal Jewish friends having a lot of trouble being criticized and rejected from both sides of discourse in USA. I recently saw two jewish people shouting obscenities at each other while waiting to get off a plane and talking about Israel. Antisemitism on the street seems to be increasing -- I met someone a few days ago who started saying baseless hateful things minutes into our first conversation.

Probably like other people here I've spent a lot more of my free time in the last year learning about the history culture and politics of Israel, Palestine and Iran.

I have a diametrically opposed take. I prefer tipping before.

It's my way of giving someone a little appreciation because they're (typically) doing a job I wouldn't want to do myself.

It's got virtually nothing to do with the quality of service I get. I always tip the same amount even when service is bad. There have only been maybe 3 exceptions in my nearly 3 decades of adult life.

I'm fortunate to be able to afford a little bit of generosity for service people, so I do it.

Edit: I should add that, in places where there's a customary tipping practice (eg: US restaurants), I tip above the customary amount no questions asked. The "generosity" is the amount above customary.

And let's also imagine what compels people to recommend enthusiasts onto paths where they will be more successful.

Maintaining distros that are not some kind of overlay that can track the underlying base automatically is just asking for more maintenance than people will want to do while also Balkanizing options for users because while overlays can be composed, distro hopping very much does not compose.

You're right, but this man did not share your opinion.

When Nancy Pelosi and her husband were targets of political violence, Charlie Kirk's response was to suggest that whomever bails the attacker out would be a national hero. [1]

To her credit, her response to the attack on him is much more dignified than his was.

How does that make it not a photo op? And why the hell didn't you just say who you were referring to since multiple died, rather than just saying ' a man' and then degrading yourself to name calling when I took a wrong guess at who you were referring to?

250k lines that are "carefully reviewed"? "Enterprise grade" I'll buy because enterprise code, especially now, is pretty shit - slow, buggy, insecure.

I guess we all wait for the output, which is the only true proof. Right now, it's a loon getting excited about llms competing with each other to produce what is quite likely way too much code, within which lurks way too many bugs. Any seasoned programmer will tell you less code is better, both for performance and for reliability.

I'd say I can't wait to see the output, but at this rate, it will likely be 1m loc when done, and if I was going to review a million lines of code, I'd be looking at the Linux kernel - a carefully crafted bit of software with actual review processes in place, that's used in millions upon millions of devices. I can pretty-much guarantee that whatever slop is finally served up, it won't be anywhere near the same league.

I'm still confused. I don't think it says anywhere that drug companies couldn't show their vaccines were safe enough. I think it said that if we allow indiscriminate lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers, WHILE longer-term trials are still pending, this disincentivizes production.

If you believe vaccines are a good thing, generally speaking, you want to incentivize production. You also make it sound like there are no remedies. I don't think that is the case at least from this sentence. Do you disagree?

> However, a plaintiff may file a civil court claim against vaccine companies after filing a claim in the VICP if they reject the vaccine court's decision.

They certainly are, police cause gun deaths all the time in service of maintaining law and order.

But to middle class snobs who think they're morally above it all, such dirtiness is a reality they can wave away with a dismissive comment of superiority, safe from all that messiness, in their nice suburb homes.

So long as they intentionally ignore these lower class facts that some wrongdoers exist who can literally only be stopped by deadly force, they can continue to put their chins up and lament the inferior-to-them simpletons who think guns have to be a thing, in between taking long savouring sniffs of their excrement after every bathroom visit.

"Purpose of your visit" in the context of a multi-entry visa with a ten year validity period, is a rather nebulous term.

I don't really remember, it's been 10y since I last had to fill out a DS-160, but I don't think so.

You probably will get asked about the purpose of your _first visit_ in the interview though.

Even setting that all aside, B1/B2 are _obviously_ very often combined together.

"I'm going for a conference, and then I'm going to do some sightseeing on the weekend" is something that, under some very strict and specific reading of the law, would require a B1/B2 visa for example.

If you want to be extremely strict in reading the law, you can't really attend a conference on a B1, and sightseeing would require a B2.

It is really tough to queue up along with kids who are not letting go of any interactive exhibit easily — and similarly tough to explore it well while there are kids waiting behind you.

So in theory you are right, in practice there is a lot of social pressure to bear to do it.

The best is if you can go in outside peak hours (take day off work etc).

I think Medhi Hasan is among the best debaters alive, but I think he’s 100% wrong on his religious views.

Generally I’m a fan of Oxford style debates, such as Intelligence Squared.

Kirk was a rapid-fire debater who made all of his content to go viral. I don’t see much value in that style, because it steamrolls so much important nuance.

Not simplified much. By the silly rules in the US, during the transfer you must go thru immigration and even get your bags and check them in again.

Yes there’s pre clearance in Canada. This would ease the border a bit. But there’s still a risk that something somewhere will go wrong.

The main reason I stoped routing thru the US 10 years ago wasn’t ICE. I didn’t like the way border agents were rude and disrespectful. I felt like I was being interrogated every time and didn’t feel welcomed there. So I decided to vote with my wallet and simply not fly thru.

I’d encourage you to do a bit more research. An entire state banned ghost guns and bump stocks following the CEO’s murder, just 9 days after it happened… and it was Democrats, as it always has been, that passed the law over majority Republican objection.

As others have pointed out, these phenomena are well known to many folks across companies in the AI infra space. It doesn't really break new ground. This article is a good exposition of the basic strategies though.

What I would have loved is a discussion around collectives/multi-node setups. And showing how to get determinism at low performance penalty for multi-node reduction collectives.

In the world of Tarot, each card tells a unique story, and none is more intriguing than Major Arcana 0, also known as The Fool. Positioned at the very beginning of the Major Arcana sequence, The Fool symbolizes new beginnings, infinite possibilities, and the leap of faith we must sometimes take to move forward in life. Unlike other cards, Major Arcana 0 is numbered with a zero, representing pure potential and the absence of limitations. This makes it a deeply spiritual and philosophical card that resonates with both beginners and seasoned tarot readers.

Whether you are a tarot enthusiast or a curious beginner, understanding Major Arcana 0 is essential for interpreting readings with depth and clarity.

I hire staff in an unrelated field.

In recent decades, 100 % of my hire have been recommended by previous staff.

Whenever anyone leaves us ( generally after many years and almost invariably on friendly terms ) we ask them if they have someone they could recommend to take over their role.

We value cultural fit hugely. We have staff of multiple ethnicities ( Norwegian, Filipino, Sicilian etc ), body shapes, ages ( oldest is 70 ). We do value those who are friendly and will fit in with our team.

Usually when I read posts like this, I come out with wonder and thinking "what amazing tools there are in our world". This time, however, my opinion is that Gappa is too raw to use effectively yet

Sure, some of the problems encountered are due to different domain (it might not have been expected that math-oriented tool would be checking code, so it's no surprise that in the end the author's mistake was found in translation _into_ math form). But others feel straight up unfinished

"no evaluate() mode" and "no output of intermediates" indicates that dev hasn't encountered varied enough early adopters yet (to learn that such a UX is needed for manual optimization)

"needs (q+e)-Q==(q-Q)+e hint" means there are some gaps yet to be filled in the implementation or the manual

and "output more than 1 value for 1-value input range" seems straight up as a bug

---

in the end it seems like a nice idea - but I'll be waiting for one more blog down the line before putting Gappa into my toolbelt

1. Lose all the allies, become isolated.

2. Allies are less powerful, the world starts another world war

3. Get sneakily attacked

4. Win the war by entering when everyone is already spent out after fighting for several years.

5. Everyone likes USA because they helped.

6. Profit.

Looks like history is about to make another turn of the same wheel, but this time WW1 is Russia (+China) <-> Ukraine (+EU). Russia will be rebuilt by China and start another round to get back on EU.

I am personally concerned that I may be the victim of genocide, and far more people have died from genocide perpetrated by governments than by school shootings. I’m not trying to be dense, I’m simply saying that history of demonstrated this. I’m also concerned that I will be the victim of violent crime and I’ve also had to defend myself from violent criminals in the past. Have you had any of these experiences? I’m curious to hear your thoughts if you’ve ever feared for your life in this way? Call me selfish, but I personally don’t want to be hurt. Thank you for your response.

It is a bit ironic to post this in a thread where someone who arguably wielded only words succumbed to someone wielding violence. From Sartre:

> 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. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
