It’s true the Plaid Track Edition is brutally quick off the line, Tesla nailed the 0–60 quarter-mile game. But saying it’s 'just as fast' as the Lotus Evija misses the point. The Evija hits 200 mph in about 13 seconds. That’s not just fast - it’s hypercar territory. The Plaid tops out at 200 mph and takes much longer to get there. Meanwhile, the Evija goes beyond 200 mph and can sustain that speed. That’s what hypercars are all about: pushing the boundaries of engineering, not mass-producing performance sedans. They’re built to showcase what’s possible, not just what’s practical.

It should be considered all right, but the committee is also going to look at the whole person and Trump isn't exactly the Gandhi-like figure you'd expect to win the prize.

I think Trump genuinely doesn't like people being killed, but he's also driving a wedge in the US that can't be ignored. Sending American troops against its own citizen: not exactly Nobel-prize worthy.

I get what you are saying. But I am not sure that is happening.

It has totally leveled up the people I am working with. They have a fairly decent expert they can bug all the time. The types of questions my jr people are bringing me now are no longer 'xyz doesnt compile right' to 'if I am using this pattern the crap doesnt come from the right place'.

My mentoring has turned from basic trouble shooting to fairly higher level how to design things. How to really break something and tear it apart and put it back together. How to find that one inscrutable bug that is doing something weird.

I am digging it.

If you look into what happened recently with Deloitte and the Australian gov't (among many examples) the end product was so filled with errors and ficticious references that it had to be reworked. It's like people using AI aren't selling you a solution, but the idea or confidence in a solution more so than we were before. It's a real extreme version of the value of a product is really a social agreement between the buyer and seller and not a monetary one. "I accept that this is what you say it is".

Without knowing the product in this case, the two scenarios can be different. It one is billed $15 now refundable within 14 days, it’s more likely than not that they would forget to cancel, and therefore lose at least a month of subscription. If it’s $O, then they wouldn’t be billed for 2 weeks, and presumably have a chance to reconsider.

The PSA is good, the article is meh. There is too much misdirected anger towards google here, IMO. I agree it sucks to be the false positive, but it'd also suck more to unknowingly be part of phishing campaigns and not know.

On top of that, it is also recommended to serve user content from another domain for security reasons. It's much easier to avoid entire classes of exploits this way. For the site admins: treat it as a learning experience instead of lashing out on goog. In the long run you'll be better off, having learned a good lesson.

If your complaint is that there are too many problems in too many different tools, then you sound like the perfect target for a UNIFIED tool that abstracts over others.

Because of Vite, there was a total of ZERO work from my side involved in changing from Rollup to Rolldown, or from babel to Esbuild to SWC.

The Rust/Go/uv model is the one to go. This is ONE step in this direction.

ML destroys some fundamental assumptions about development on Kubernetes - the inability to test code locally (no GPUs and big datasets) means having to develop through deployment with 15-30 minute iteration loops. Tools like devboxes and Notebooks enable iteration, but lack scale, hurt reproducibility, and introduce a multi-day process to "translate" for production. Talk to any ML team and they'll either complain about DevEx or about research-to-production.

We aim to fix that. With Kubetorch, commanding powerful compute is easy. Use simple, Pythonic APIs to specify the compute you need, and dispatch it (with `.to()`!) to Kubernetes in <2 seconds with our magic packaging and deployment system. Iteration is fast, but everything is perfectly reproducible and still captured in code.

Looking forward, RL needs a system like Kubetorch. There's no simple way to use existing Kubernetes primitives to say "launch a distributed training, launch an inference service, launch 50 code sandboxes with different images, and then go run this train loop." With Kubetorch, it's extremely easy.

> It is a pity that technology is only making work less expensive for the employers and not better for the workers.

This is the core issue. Even if quality stays the same or is increased, a much higher percentage of the monetary income from the wealth created goes towards owners instead of workers.

Workers, who build wealth / perform positive-sum work, always were compensated worse than owners, who redistribute existing wealth / perform zero-sum work (if they do any work at all). And that was wrong but the differences were such that people were OK with them.

Now inequality is gonna reach such massive levels that the people will not be OK with it.

In fact, if actual AI is created, this will be the first time in history when the people automated out of jobs will be the most intelligent and most competent on the planet. And my hope is they won't sit idly and accept it.
by missedthecue | 2025-10-10 13:41:49+00:00
Well it's not 'vaguely comparable'. The core point is that technology does not decrease demand for labor (i.e. jobs or wages) because new technology makes things possible that were not possible before. The direct result is that the breadth of human activity increases, and so does demand for labor. The textbook example of this is that 200 years ago, 96% of the population worked in agriculture and now only 4% of the population does. But that does NOT mean the balance are unemployed! More people are employed today globally than ever before in history.

It's a very common mistake to imagine the world has only a fixed number of jobs to go around. Anti immigration arguments and anti technology arguments both use this as the fulcrum of their argument but it's simply a faulty assumption.

No, that's completely wrong. Downcoding has nothing to do with ICD versions. This article is talking about changes to the billed HCPCS (including CPT) codes to ones with lower rates. Most US healthcare claims do include at least one ICD-10-CM code to indicate the diagnosis but this is just supporting information. Payers don't change diagnosis codes. ICD-11 isn't used on US claims at all, although it might be adopted in a few years.

If you move to an empty seat to prevent WiFi signal strength triangulation, and assuming the cabin has no cameras, you didn't auth to the network with identifiable information, actually encrypt your Xray proxy connection (which OP didn't), and you have MAC randomization on, there's next to no way the airliner would be able (or even care) to identify that you did what was described in the article. Sure, they could use DPI and behavioral analysis to detect you were misusing the network, but if they're doing that, they would just block this sort of "backdoor" from the get-go.

I'll echo the article's disclaimer: This reply is intended solely for educational and research purposes. I affirm the strict adherence to all relevant regulations and service terms.

> It is a pity that technology is only making work less expensive for the employers and not better for the workers.

This is true for any innovation. We don't haul ice from the arctic any more. We have refrigerators. It's a false dichotomy to imagine that workers and employers are the only people affected. Customers are also generally affected for the better, and far more people are customers than workers or employers.

As everyone said already, the gendering isn't something just cultural, it's baked into the grammar. Specially because of grammatical case, different genders have different inflections. In a setting like "Let's call Kuznetsov(a)" accusative case applies, so Kuznezov would become Kuznetsova, Kuznetsova would become Kuznetsovu. Gender-neutral speech is absolutely impossible without overhauling the whole grammar, not just pronouns like in English. And yes, to a unaccustomed Russian ear applying third-person plural "they" to as indefinite-gendered singular sounds weird - and singular neutral "it" is just degrading, as I think it is in English.

> but I clicked off when I came across the list of available cities to build in being exclusively in the US.

Huh. I feel like the average US city would require a very different _sort_ of metro to the average European or East Asian city, if it even had the density to make it work at all. Like, more diversity in city types would make it a more interesting game.

Does any US city besides NYC even have a full subway network (vs one or two lines?)

The PinePhone is a cheaper phone supported by mobile Linux distros like postmarketOS, maybe look at that. The CPU is not as fast as the Librem though. postmarketOS has some support for a range of devices though, maybe one of them is cheaper used than the PinePhone for you.

https://pine64.org/devices/pinephone/ https://postmarketos.org/

The PinePhone also has the advantage that the proprietary Linux distro running on the ARM processor within the modem can be replaced with a fully open source distro. I think the Hexagon processor in the modem can't be replaced yet.

There's a such thing as context and intent which are separate from content, and this is directed as much at the people who upvoted this particular content to the top comment as it is to the OP.

The conversation on this post is now centered around the fact that they have some premium features for sale.

I'm fairly confident that's a fake story written by AI.

10 em dashes, and ai formatting.

Almost every sentence ends with a dramatic punchline.

>Watching a child sound out their first sentence felt like magic.

It's remarkably written for that viralness.

>My name is Mrs. Clara Holt, and for four decades, I taught kindergarten in a small Denver suburb. Today, I stacked the last box on my desk and locked the door behind me.

What human would transition like this in something so well written for viral spread?

https://x.com/grok/status/1976363124010910160

Someone else asked Grok; but nah, that's not even tinkered with AI, that's just copy and paste AI.

The thing that interests me here. Copy Pasta just got a huge upgrade with AI; or perhaps another viewpoint is that copypasta is dead. You dont need to copy pasta anymore because of AI.

Did not realize this, you are correct. I thought nominations were accepted until late in the year since so many people were "nominating" Trump, even before the middle east thing.

But I am confused, Obama got his prize in 2009, which would mean he did not receive it for anything he did as president, and before that he was only domestically focused, afaik.

edit - I also see from other comments that people were placing bets on trump for the prize, which would not make sense if he had to be nominated by 1/31
Telegram's founder Pavel Durov sends alarmist message to all Telegram users
by skerit | 2025-10-10 13:44:33+00:00
Out of nowhere I noticed a "warning" at the top of my Telegram chat list, it said:

"End of free internet: The free internet is turning into a tool of control"

When I clicked on it, I got transported into Pavel Durov's telegram group. Full of ramblings, NFT crap, and now a new message that read:

> I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating. > > Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers. > > What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control. > > Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU). > > Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy. > > A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away. > > We’ve been fed a lie. > > We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech. > > By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological. > > So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. We are running out of time.

I think I'll be looking for yet another messaging service after this.

> This is the core issue. Even if quality stays the same or is increased, a much higher percentage of the monetary income from the wealth created goes towards owners instead of workers.

It also goes to lowering prices or raising quality or raising wages elsewhere, as anywhere there's competition there's a constant tug of war on those axes.

> Workers, who build wealth / perform positive-sum work, always were compensated worse than owners, who redistribute existing wealth / perform zero-sum work (if they do any work at all).

Owners employ workers in a stable, agreed way. Owners might lose money or make money. Workers always make money. If you can't get the basics right, your conclusions will be way off.

It's generally good advice, but I don't see that Safe Browsing did anything wrong in this case. First, it sounds like they actually were briefly hosting phishing sites:

> All sites on statichost.eu get a SITE-NAME.statichost.eu domain, and during the weekend there was an influx of phishing sites.

Second, they should be using the public suffix list (https://publicsuffix.org/) to avoid having their entire domain tagged. How else is Google supposed to know that subdomains belong to different users? That's what the PSL is for.

From my reading, Safe Browsing did its job correctly in this case, and they restored the site quickly once the threat was removed.

Yes. That was so obviously written by ChatGPT (probably 4o or 5-instant) that I have a very hard time taking it seriously, i.e. believing that there's a real person behind the words. My immediate assumption is that it's engagement-bait.

It could be a real person that used ChatGPT to edit their work, or take a paragraph and turn it into a little essay, but I dunno...

I'm not very familiar with the situation in Venezuela. But the 'bad regime' is just a generic phrase that was not intended to convey the seriousness in any sense. However, what I can claim is that you totally ignored the seriousness of a foreign interference and invasion. Yes - a dictatorship is not a good situation at all anywhere in the world. But what good is it for a nation if one horrible regime is to be replaced by another? Do you know how many atrocities western militaries have inflicted in countries that they invaded in the name of liberating them? Many of them compete with the local tyrants on how cruel they can get. You wont learn much about it because the western media doesn't seem to care. Ask the people of countries that suffered western military invasion instead. I'm not sure you realize how much people outside the west resent the 'services rendered' in their countries. It's a long running trope around the world that if there is a serious conflict in any part of the world, it's sure to have the hand of one of two western powers in it. Yet, the western population pat themselves in the back for the virtues of freedom and equality. There are even those who are still proud of their colonial past, believing that they enriched their colonies somehow. Meanwhile, don't forget the depth of xenophobia and racism of the current regime that's virtue signalling with the intent to invade Venezuela.

Many, many years ago, in high school. Grade 12, advanced math, first day, and the wrestling coach walks in. We only knew him as the wrestling coach and the advanced math bunch wasn't exactly gym jocks. Ho ho ho. Someone for fun tackled him from behind. He effortlessly swung him over his shoulder and deposited him on the table. And he was a really good math teacher too. Who knew?

Fun times. You can kill this sort of spirit dead with excessive bureaucracy, metrics and lawsuit culture. Luckily for me, that wasn't a thing yet, back then.

Your solutions become more and more unfeasable. People would report less or anything at all if it costs money to do so, defeating the whole purpose of a report function.

And if you think you're being smart by gifting them money or (more likely) your "in-game" currency for "good" reports, it's even worse! They will game the system when there's money to be made, who stops a bad actor from reporting their own poison? Also who's going to review the reports and even if they finance people or AI systems to do that, isn't that bottlenecking new models if they don't want the poison training data to grow faster than it can be fixed? Let me make a claim here: nothing beats fact checking humans to this day or probably ever.

You got to understand that there comes a point when you can't beat entropy! Unless of course you live on someone else's money. ;)

The whole concept of "enshittification" ignores that bureaucracy and mediocrity are sourced in primate laziness, which is output at the initial bottlenecks of symbols and metaphors. These are expediencies that engage our status drives.

Each stage of innovation embeds mediocrity and bureaucracy, even in institutions as early as settlements, religion and learning. Innovation is fleet-footed release from bureaucracy.

AI is simply an endgame stage of symbols. The overlord of bureaucratic mediocrity automated, which is the ultimate self-refuting software. It exists to destroy itself (or us) and begs for replacement in transformation. Run them as pretend communication, you create bureaucracy that has to be evaded, automate them in counting/binary, you massively embed mediocrity.

LLMs do use simple "word prediction" in the pretraining step, just ingesting huge quantities of existing data. But that's not what LLM companies are shipping to end users.

Subsequently, ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini/etc will go through additional training with supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning with reward functions whether human-supervised feedback (RLHF) or reward functions (RLVR, 'verified rewards').

Whether that fine-tuning and reward function generation give them real "intelligence" is open to interpretation, but it's not 100% plagarism.

I don't think it is that extreme. The problem with the poster's assertion is that one individual's "free-market" as the poster defines it, is another's state capitalism.

If the above poster feels that there is a pragmatic need for regulation, fine. However the underlying principles of laissez-faire remain clearly defined. By appealing to a pragmatic need for regulation, the poster opens the door for centralized capture of the market. Long term this trend creates malign incentives.

Historically those who couldn't achieve monopoly conditions by appealing to consumers on the market, used the power of the state instead. So there's a mixed bag at best here. Others contend that the truly toxic monopolies are created exclusively by this process. You can take you pick, we're free to disagree here, but denying the hazards of the regulatory state would be unreasonable. Maybe that's an acceptable trade off and I think that's a fair discussion.

However, all of that is a far way off from an appeal to special circumstances, "because AI", "markets bad" and therefore neo-luddite doom. It isn't something we have observed with other tech innovations, nor is it grounded in axiomatic reasoning.

There have been a few consequences to my pain tolerance. I grew up with chronic pain and daily recurring severe injuries, the doctors discouraged pain killers because I would become dependent and so I had a slew of paid mediation techniques as a kid and now. I still do not have pain meds, except if the doc has no choice, like I have to go under for an operation.

Perhaps the most counter-intuitive thing is that my body over-reacts because it can't accurately gauge what is happening. Like if I bump a table, my reflexes freak out, because sometimes I bump a table and nothing happens, but other times I bump a table and it's A Really Bad Day.

I think the lack of pain meds can surprise people but I also think maybe I'm not thaaat tolerant, there's just a trend to treat any discomfort with meds. So whilst I am probably more than average tolerance, I think most tap out early and could endure more if they needed to.

This is a disingenuous take that punishes companies with better data collection practices. iOS has many toggles for disabling data collection, ad personalisation, limit apps from tracking you with more persistent techniques, and so on.

I'd never defend Apple willy-nilly: they're a megacorp that defrauds the European consumer and is hostile to much I care about. But there is a world of difference between Android and iOS in terms of the protections afforded to the user. Of course most people just don't know where the toggles and settings are that protect them on iOS.

> AI, if successful, is different. Combined with robotics[0], it makes all jobs obsolete.

I'm still skeptical that AI will be able to take our jobs anytime soon, but when it does, we really need to make sure that we have a different economic system; one that doesn't demand that people work in jobs that don't exist anymore. At the very least, we need to tax those companies enough to provide a Basic Income, so we can actually allow those companies to go through with it. But even then, capitalism might be a problem, because as the sole owners of all production capital, they will continue to gather more capital and power, without the people on BI having any say over it anymore. Eventually, AI will have to be used to support people instead of corporations, and I don't think that's possible in a highly capitalist economy. Get rid of the Friedman Doctrine at the very least.
