Uh, Ukraine (GUR) deliberately blew up a random civilian who was unwittingly transporting explosives for them across the Kerch Bridge. As well as whoever happened to be nearby (fortunately it was early morning so traffic was light). They also randomly shell residential areas in the Belgorod region and Donetsk city using low-accuracy tube artillery and Grad rockets (including cluster munitions and butterfly mines). The fact that Russia is guilty of much worse does not mean these are not war crimes.

Everything else held constant and I actually do have the time in my schedule, I'd generally prefer a 1 hour train ride to a half hour drive. I can spend that time doing lots of things I'd much rather do than force myself to stay focused on boring and at the same time stressful situations. I'm far more relaxed when I arrive. I'm probably getting dropped off closer than the parking garage. I'm not worried about my car getting vandalized/broken into/hit by other cars. I don't have to worry about finding a place to park or pay for parking. And its a considerably safer trip in the end.

That compensation package comes with very steep performance requirements.

There are twelve separate performance milestones, including Tesla's market capitalization growing to $8.5 trillion and delivering 20 million vehicles. He must also meet product-specific goals, such as 10 million active "Full Self-Driving" (FSD) subscriptions, 1 million "Optimus" robots delivered, and 1 million robotaxis in operation. These goals are separated into "tranches" that must be achieved over the next decade.

> and hardware just vanish.

Okay, this tells me you really don't understand model serving or any of the details of infrastructure. The hardware is incredibly ephemeral. Your home GPU might last a few years (and I'm starting to doubt that you've even trained a model at home), but these GPUs have incredibly short lifespans under load for production use.

Even if you're not working on the back end of these models, you should be well aware that one of the biggest concerns about all this investment is how limited the lifetime of GPUs is. It's not just about being "outdated" by superior technology, GPUs are relatively fragile hardware and don't last too long under constant load.

As far as models go, I have a hard time imagining a world in 2030 where the model replies "sorry, my cutoff date was 2026" and people have no problem with this.

Also, you still didn't address my point that startups doing inference only model serving are burning cash. Production inference is not the same as running inference locally where you can wait a few minutes for the result. I'm starting to wonder if you've ever even deployed a model of any size to production.

Calling ICE the secret police is factually incorrect and intellectually dishonest.

First, ICE has no authority over US we citizens. So on that note alone they are not a police force. Second, they still operate under the law, specially INA 236-287. Their budget is reviewed and authorized by Congress and they are beholden to the laws of the land.

What is new in their scope are 287(G) agreements which are currently being contested (as they should) in courts. It’s unclear whether local police can or should enforce immigration law under current statutes. Only in this case would I agree with your statement, in that the enhanced local police forces would constitute a “secret police” by the literal Gestapo-/Stasi-era definition.

Funny enough Trump has made quite a show of ICE but has yet to top Obama’s numbers. I’m old enough to remember ICE forming in 2003 and Obama’s (ab)use of DHS. I don’t remember people complaining and protesting about door kickers back then. Maybe because the other team was doing it and their quarterback won a Nobel peace prize?

Google has what I would call a generous free tier, even including Gemini 2.5 Pro (https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits). Just get an API key from AiStudio. Also very easy to just make a switch in your agent so that if you hit up against a rate limit for one model, re-request the query with the next model. With Pro/Flash/Flash-Lite and their previews, you've got 2500+ free requests per day.

I wasn't too averse to using the construction until I saw the latest Eddy Burback video where he had an AI encouraging the delusions he was faking for the sake of the video. The sheer number of times the AI said "it's not just X, it's Y" absolutely broke any willingness I had to ever say anything like that again.

As a Chinese user, I can say that many people use Kimi, even though I personally don’t use it much. China’s open-source strategy has many significant effects—not only because it aligns with the spirit of open source. For domestic Chinese companies, it also prevents startups from making reckless investments to develop mediocre models. Instead, everyone is pushed to start from a relatively high baseline. Of course, many small companies in the U.S., Japan, and Europe are also building on Qwen. Kimi is similar: before DeepSeek and others emerged, their model quality was pretty bad. Once the open-source strategy was set, these companies had no choice but to adjust their product lines and development approaches to improve their models.

Moreover, the ultimate competition between models will eventually become a competition over energy. China’s open-source models have major advantages in energy consumption, and China itself has a huge advantage in energy resources. They may not necessarily outperform the U.S., but they probably won’t fall too far behind either.

I think hard = not enough fiber and/or fluids.

I think you're right about diet. When I asked my first doctor about diet - what should I eat and not eat, he told me something counter-intuitive. He said "it changes back and forth every year, but one thing is agreed upon - eat a variety of foods".

A lot of my indian colleagues behave quite differently from the general population. They frequently cook at home and/or for themselves and bring the food in, and they generally use whole/individual ingredients. I've also heard that indians don't get alzheimers because of turmeric.

That said, as people age or become more sedentary I think proper fiber becomes very important.

And that sounds fine, but Wireguard is not an overhyped industry promising huge gains in the future to investors and to developers jumping on a bandwagon who can find problems for this solution.

I actually have built agents already in the past and this is my opinion. If you read the article the author says they want to hear the reasoning for disliking it, so this is mine, the only way to create a business is raising money and hoping somebody strikes gold with the shovel Im paying for.

Moore’s Law is about transistor density, not RAM in workstations. But yes, density is not doubling every two years any more.

RAM growth slowed in laptops and workstations because we hit diminishing returns for normal-people applications. If local LLM applications are in demand, RAM will grow again.

RAM doubled in Apple base models last year.

Snowy 2.0 isn’t an electricity generator, it’s pumped hydro. It relies on electricity being generated elsewhere.

The governments plan is bait and switch. Make it seem lucrative at the start, and then squeeze everyone who committed on better terms by ratcheting up the fees and ratcheting down the feed-in tariffs.

Alternatively, we could have built a handful of big combined cycle gas plants, close to the retiring coal plants to take advantage of existing transmission infrastructure, and legislated a cheap rate for gas from the gas extraction industry, and Australians could have had all-you-can-use electricity for $40 a month.

But instead of that, we’ve committed at least a couple of generations to virtue signalling, like Australia’s GHG emissions make any difference.

We’re happy to export the gas and coal, and uranium, so India and China can have cheap power to run industrial economies.

Cheap power comes not from residential customers managing their time of use, but from the excess of industrialisation. And we’re rapidly making it cost prohibitive to manufacture anything in Australia, or even run a restaurant. So that people in far away lands can have better lives.

Make us look pretty stupid to be honest.

I would recommend that restaurant jack up their prices if they're remodeling the restaurant every other day and have no plans on stopping or slowing down that constant remodeling.

> it's hard to directly figure out what is true CapEx vs. unsustainable burn.

Exactly, and yet you're so certain they'll achieve profitability. The cost for pickles could get cheaper but if they're constantly spending more and more on the rest of the burger and remodeling the building all the time to add yet another wing of seating that may or may not actually be needed it doesn't really matter in their overall profitability right?

Great work!

Some five years ago I was day dreaming about recommendation engine for movies where you could say "hey Ciri, give me a good gangster flick", and it will come up with something that you haven't seen yet but you'd definitely love.

To my amazement almost everyone, even true AI believers, thought it was impossible to achieve. :d

But my question is - having such huge dataset, do we really need AI for it? SASRec/RAG is sexy, but could the same result be achieved with simple ranking and intersections like lastfm did in the past with music?

Some twenty years ago I came up with an idea of "brain" data structure for recommendations where you have all your items (books, movies or articles) modeled as a graph, and whenever you pick something it makes a ripple effect, effectively raising scores in cascade of every adjecent item.

Just like your brain works - when you stumble upon something new it immediately brings back memories of similar things from the past. I never had the opportunity to implement it and test in real life scenario, but I'd be surprised if a variant of this is not widely used across different recommendation systems, like Amazon.

Hi, for me, I will try my best to answer. In my experience, it all about giving the agent the right tool for job. We give them a grep tool and search, then the accuracy and reliability rely on the capable of the running model.

> I ask the agent to generate things like: > { original_sentence: xxxx, improved_sentence: yyyy } > and I use the original_sentence to locate the original content, and replace it with the improved_sentence.

To mitigate this, I build the apply patch pattern. [0][1]

When you say with no coding experience, what does that mean to you? I can get near miraculous results from vibe coding, but it often gets stuck in weird “bug loops” where it goes back and forth between broken states, and I have to understand either like bracket formatting, or be able to research library failures and conflicts. I suppose with no coding experience I could maybe muddle through, but itw would require hours of patience and probably learning some coding fundamentals to do something I can identify in sometimes seconds.

No matter how you sync, a Keepass file is a file. I can't be logged out. It will still be on my phone if my house burns down. Every device it's synced to is an additional backup copy.

The Bitwarden client will sometimes log you out if something happens on the server side, which has the potential to make worst case recovery from annoying to impossible. The circular dependency of having my cloud backup password in the vault made me nervous.

Yes, you can back your vault up, but it's a manual step and likely to be forgotten.

Looks like you missed the part where I rather clearly said "in the article you linked". As for the articles you just linked because of this, literally none of them evince the charge that Hamas directed its brigades to gangrape hostages, let alone that Palestinians cheered this on. And again, it's pretty wild that you would argue that a healthy society tacitly or explicitly (it's the latter in Israel's case) encourages revenge rape, especially when it quite literally had always called itself the vanguard of the west in the middle east, the most moral army in the world, etc.

The article mentions some of the challenges, like 1.9e9 sha1 hashes. And 1.9e9 row updates performing poorly in-place, so they created a separate table for the results. Then they got rate limited by email providers when they wanted to tell people about their pwnage

My guess would be the only context where they ever heard or thought about a city in the middle east is in context of a US war. If you think the US is only fighting for good and justified reason any city you hear something about is one that is likely full of whatever enemies the US has at that moment. Why else would anybody talk about the middle east? So of course its ok to bomb it if somebody is considering it and the military would do it then the person answering is ok with it.

This is a fascinating discovery! It's brings into focus the Deep Field imagery from the JWST and how gravitational lensing was found to be greater than expected along with galaxies that were much older than expected based on redshift calculations. Perhaps this could indicate that the universe is even older than we originally thought if redshift calculations accounted for an incorrect perpetual acceleration.

> I'm not saying that the agent would do a better job than a good "hardcoded" human telemetry system, and we don't use agents for this stuff right now.

And that's why I won't touch 'em. All the agents will be abandoned when people realize their inherent flaws (security, reliability, truthfulness, etc) are not worth the constant low-grade uncertainty.

In a way it fits our times. Our leaders don't find truth to be a very useful notion. So we build systems that hallucinate and act unpredictably, and then invest all our money and infrastructure in them. Humans are weird.

Agreed, and it's actually how I've been thinking about it, but it's also straight from the article, so can't claim credit. But it was fun to see it put into words by someone else.

And yeah, the LLM does so much of the lifting that the agent part is really surprisingly simple. It was really a revelation when I started working on mine.

1) If you were GCP (as they are the attacker in this scenario), you'd attach the analyzer to ANY (!) ONE (!) server and then you migrate the user's workload that you wanted to snoop on (or were required to snoop on by the FBI) to your evil server. Like, you are clearly trying to say this makes it harder (though even if this were true that doesn't make it at all "provable")... but, if you support migration, you actually made it EASIER for you (aka, GCP) to abuse your privileged position.

2) These attacks are actually worse than what I am pretty sure you are assuming (and so where I started my response), as you actually just need one hacked server and then you can simulate working servers on other hardware that isn't hacked by either stealing an attested key or stealing the attestation key itself. You often wouldn't even then need to have the hacked server anymore.

Misses the mark. The motive for stupidity is corruption, hence the exercise of power. An anonymous unidentifiable third party gains from it and you are to pay for it with obstruction (active attacks are rare). By definition you don't know if it's corruption or stupidity, and that's why stupidity must exist, as unmotivated corruption, meaning it's just a part of the person or organization, for example ideology. Stupidity then tends to equate to incompetence. But to the observer victim there is no difference.

The individual bribes aren't the whole picture. The bribes are statements of loyalty. If I am reliably donating to your campaign every couple of years, then I am probably not donating to your opponents' campaigns.

And loyalty seems particularly important with the current administration, because they have an agenda full of things that are illegal or otherwise unsavory and un-American, so they need a nation run by loyal henchmen if the agenda is to succeed.

I read this, and found it to be a disappointing read. It had few details, and instead was more of a social sciences paper, covering basic ideas in academic language.

Roughly it seemed to be suggesting that:

* It's easier to deceive someone if they first solicit for help on a forum

* You can trick someone into revealing sensitive info like which infrastructure provider is used by nerdsniping them: "My mate thinks you should just enable health checking on AWS ELB", and then they reply "Well actually I use Hetzner". Except I'm guessing it was more elaborate than that.

I guess I wasn't the target audience of the article though.

joshmn, what did you think of the article?

Do you find it difficult to trust random commenters online now?

I see you mentioned you can't discuss technical details, but if/whenever that expires (?), that'd be great to hear.

> First, ICE has no authority over US citizens.

They've detained quite a number of them, which would be impossible if they had no authority over them. (Also, while a lot of the time “ICE” is used as shorthand, the objections are generally to the actions the administration characterizes as immigration enforcement as a whole—to which a sizable portion of most US federal law enforcement agencies have been redirected from their usual duties, with ICE and Border Patrol taking the most highly-visible roles, not to ICE specifically.)

> So on that note alone they are not a police force.

A police force whose nominal focus is a particular subset of the population (including, e.g., noncitizens) is still a police force.

> Second, they still operate under the law, specially INA 236-287. T

Having law which nominally governs their behavior is not contrary to being a police force, regular or secret. In fact, I think you will not find any example of such a force for which this is not true.

> Funny enough Trump has made quite a show of ICE but has yet to top Obama’s numbers.

The objection is not the numbers (by which i assume you mean the aggregate count of deportations), but primarily to the changes in methodology and focus.

> I’m old enough to remember ICE forming and Obama.

ICE was a product of the reorganization of federal national security and law enforcement bureaucracy under George W. Bush, not Obama.

> I don’t remember people complaining and protesting about door kickers back then. Maybe because the other team was doing it?

ICE specifically and the entire Department of Homeland Security has been a target of protests, objection, and vilification since it was formed.

At what cost, and to who?

So you can have three hours of free electricity, while you’re at work, the kids are at school, you’re renting so no battery for you, electricity has already increased 100% and continues to increase, but only once a year, and now you’re being offered something your 10 year old second hand appliances and petrol cars can’t take advantage of.

Forget trickle down economics, it’s deluge-up. From those who can barely afford it to those who barely need it.

Let’s not pretend there isn’t a cost of living crisis in Australia, and electricity prices factor in to everything.

Cheap reliable plentiful electricity is the backbone of an economy. Not sitting down and working out how you can use less power next month.

We should be sitting down trying to work out how we can use more power next month, in order to leverage that power to have a better life, warmer / cooler homes. Starting businesses and not having electricity be the killer.

Your latest response still does not provide any concrete data or evidence to support your claims about space exploration being a waste, self-sufficient colonies being impossible, or AI and synthetic biology being more promising alternatives.

I have already asked for specific data to back up your assumptions, but none has been provided.

Without evidence, this discussion remains purely speculative. I recommend looking into the significant advancements in reusable rockets, in-situ resource utilization, and fusion research before dismissing their potential. Unsupported claims about feasibility or value are simply unsubstantiated opinion.

I continue to disagree: the socket does not need a timeout, it can simply go into an infinitely held state. Take a web browser (a very typical "outgoing socket" case): there is no value in either the browser or the socket having a timeout, as, if the user decides it takes too long, they will click Stop and/or Reload, which will close the socket. "I guess the remote side didn't send me a response packet within X seconds so I'll automatically stop the load and show the user an error" does not provide any benefit and can only lead to new failure edge cases.
