No, that does not solve the issue. You still receive 'reaction' emails but in addition, the user you emailed in the first place gets an irritating email and they suppose that you are a dick. They are in some way correct, since they likely did not know they had sent an irritating email but you do.

The truth is, this is just another embrace-extend-extinguish strategy by Microsoft. Their business ethos is, and has been for decades, to make it irritating to use software not written, and controlled, by themselves.

I had a whole course just about how computers do maths. Matrix multiplication, linear fit, finding eigenvectors, multiplication and division, square root, solving linear systems, numerically calculating differential equations, spline interpolation, FEM analysis.

"Computers are good at maths" is normally a pretty obvious statement... but many things we take for granted from analytical mathematics, is quite difficult to actually implement in a computer. So there is a mountain of clever algorithms hiding behind some of the seemingly most obvious library operations.

One of the best courses I've ever had.

Yeah: I can usually tell from public information when a company has problems like this, and that makes me disinclined to want to work for them. Seeing how they deal with those problems, though? … Well, in this case, it shows that the company doesn't know how to deal with these problems properly, and thinks ChatGPT is appropriate for write-ups, so I still might not want to work there – but I might bother interviewing there, just to check how deep these problems go. (If they're just a case of "they didn't know better, but they're happy to learn", then I might actually take the job offer: an environment where others are willing to learn without fear of losing face is an environment where I can learn without worrying about that either.)

"The “rotational waves” come from population activity looping through a stable subspace while a phase wave moves across the cortex.

In field terms, it’s a torsional coherence cycle, rotation in abstract state-space mirrored by a traveling wave in tissue. The same pattern re-aligns the brain after distraction.

Put simply: when focus returns, the brain doesn’t just switch back on, it spirals back into tune, like sound waves re-forming harmony after interference."

Exactly. That’s the core problem the Index exposes. Under current UK rules (and indeed in most countries), suppliers can legally call their power “100% renewable” even when it’s mostly gas at times of low renewable generation. They can do this by offsetting the non-renewable deficit with certificates from sunny summer hours.

What we've tried to do at Matched is make this fact visible, showing which suppliers actually deliver clean power hour by hour rather than just on paper. A number of suppliers (notably Good Energy and Octopus) perform surprisingly well, be procuring renewable power that aligns well with their consumer's demand.

Enough evidence to be suspicious. Not enough evidence to be sufficient for what is required to convict and sentence for a crime, that is beyond a reasonable doubt.

One would hope the latter is required, before going through with an execution.

In reality, most likely these are legit drug traffickers but being used as pawns for geopolitics rather than a meaningful attempt to curb drug use.

That sounds delightful. Get a Raspberry Pi or something connected to a power supply capped at 20 watts (approximate electricity consumption of the human brain). It has to be able to run its algorithm in less than the time limit per turn for speed chess. Then you'd have to choose an algorithm based on if it produces high-quality guesses before arriving at its final answer so that if it runs out of time it can still make a move. I wonder if this is already a thing?

The issue arises when my output is not what I think it is or the audio is otherwise not being adjusted (happens a lot when your pushing through an HDMI output). It could be going out my speakers, my headphones, or something else entirely. So when I’m pressing the volume up and down trying to see what is going on, I don’t want to have to squint at a very tiny set of bars in the top menu bar. That is annoying and far more distracting than an opaque layer that gives me clear information showing up for 2 seconds.

At the end of the day I want Apple to adhere to the “it just works” philosophy. That little pop up served as a critical source of information I needed daily that tells me more than just the volume level. It’s easy to understand, it’s been consistent for I believe two decades, and it provides information to multiple questions instantly. It did not need to be changed and what they changed it to is worse.

There's a risk there that the AI could find the solution by looking through your history to find it, instead of discovering it directly in the checked-out code. AI has done that in the past:

This blog post is offensive to me on three levels:

1. It is clearly not written with a desire to actually convey information in a concise, helpful way.

2. It is riddled with advertisements for Cloudflare services which bear absolutely no relevance to the topic at hand

3. The actual point of the article (anonymous rate limiting tokens) is pointlessly obscured by an irrelevant use case (AI agents for some reason)

Of course, the second two points seem to be heavily related to the first.

This is barely any better -- in terms of respect for the reader's intelligence and savviness -- than those "Apple just gave ten million users a reason to THROW AWAY THEIR IPHONES" trash articles. Just slop meant to get you to click on links to Cloudflare services and vaguely associate Cloudflare with the "Agentic AI future", with no actual intention whatsoever of creating a quality article.

No one thinks cartels use fishing boats to transport drugs, especially launching from Venezuela. Venezuela itself only have minor cartels. Target Zodiacs from DR, Jamaica, Haiti or Sinaloa, you'll get a better ROI.

Venezuela network traffic Venezuelian first (some of which you probably killed, not unexpected from a bloodthirsty country, but still), gold second, and drugs a far away third.

Killing gold traffickers probably help Brazil and France, while most Venezuelian drug is probably still headed to Europe through Dutch vessels.

This has practically nothing to do with fentanyl. Practically none of the US supply of fentanyl comes from Venezuela. Other drugs, sure. Not really fentanyl.

If the Cheeto in Chief declared war on salad forks, all salad forks are now illegal in the US, death penalty for all those trafficking in salad forks, it'll help stop fentanyl trust me, would you also be for it? After all, it's doing something, and we need to do something. Or would you see it as something unrelated and would make no impact while making most people less safe?

> No one commenting in the news has enough info of the plan (or of the future) to offer a useful appraisal of this particular something.

Do you not find that incredibly troubling though? That the US government is gearing up to go to war against a country and yet the populace isn't being read in on the slightest in whatever evidence they may have that these boats they're bombing are actually drug boats or that Venezuela actually is a primary source for fentanyl or whatever? Isn't that an immensely troubling thing that we should push back on until they actually tell us good reasons to go to war?

I think it depends on the permanence of the thing you’re keeping state for. For example for a blog post, you might want to keep it around for a long time.

But sometimes it’s less obvious how to keep state encoded in a URL or otherwise (i.e for the convenience of your users do you want refreshing a feed to return the user to a marker point in the feed that they were viewing? Or do you want to return to the latest point in the feed since users expect a refresh action to give them a fresh feed?).
by vel0city | 2025-11-02 13:43:06+00:00
What evidence? Have any links? Do we even know their names? No? (The government even admitted they don't know who they've killed). Strange, huh.

How can we have enough evidence to know these people deserve to die for drug crimes when we don't even know who they are?

The few people who survived, we just released them. No charging them with crimes, no courts, just sending them on their way. If they were really hardened drug criminals with enough evidence to murder everyone else around them, how were we not able to charge them with any crime?

Absolutely not trying to minimise your experience, but I found it really funny somehow how different (and still same) human life truly is depending on where you were born and how you have lived.

I've never had a 160 kg Bavarian nutsack in front of my face, but I've regularly gotten my face full of ass or nether regions because my university group has a small mobile sauna on a trailer, where anyone at the back moving past the others will necessarily shove their nethers in the others' faces. At some point I forgot to even think about it.

Human lives are so different, but nutsacks are basically still all the same. I hope you can one day forgive the Bavarian for their swinging sacks and overenthusiasm for the top seat.

It's absolutely an international problem. As we get more renewables on the grid, we need to move away from the annual accounting mechanism that hides daily and seasonal intermittency.

The amount of open data that's available in the UK is laudable and makes our analysis possible. But we do have some theories about how we can expand to other countries. Australia will be an interesting one, given renewable penetration.

The irony is that Kubernetes already provides a "ssh into any container" ability, and it's provided directly by k8s, no sshd needed (it's not the ssh protocol but it's good enough to get a shell). Not sure it's advisable to do with any user but an admin, but the standard workflow with k8s is not to shell into running containers anyway, it's to rebuild the container and redeploy the pod.

I think they can still be fraudsters while being politically useful; the story just needs to stay together for a bit over a year to be useful for the last election that Trump will ever care about (2028 midterms, since he’s term limited), or three years to keep help out Thiel’s guy Vance.

It doesn’t have to be a centerpiece or anything, so it probably doesn’t have to stand up to much scrutiny from the general public. Like if the government gives them some little grants, they’ll have enough cover to include “revitalizing and onshoring US semiconductors” or whatever in a speech. The press here is not very aggressive about these sorts of claims.

My first reaction: 800GB who committed that?!? This size alone screams something is wrong. To be fair even with basic dockerfiles it’s easy to build up a lot of junk. But there should be a general size limit in any workflow that just alerts when something grows out of proportion. We had this in our shop just a few weeks ago. A docker image for some ai training etc grew too big and nobody got alerted about the image final size. It got committed and pushed to jfrog. From there the image synced to a lot of machines. Jfrog informed us that something is off with our amount of data we shuffle around. So on one end this should not happen but it seems to easily end up in production without warning.

I’ve been paying attention throughout and I don’t see any contradiction at all. In March, Schumer explained and I agreed that a shutdown would have provided political cover for Elon Musk to keep blowing up entire departments under DOGE. Now Musk is gone, DOGE is severely weakened, and the caucus has had more time to workshop their goals.

One important dynamic I think people often miss is that party discipline is weak in the US. Schumer can’t make the caucus go along with a shutdown fight; he has to convince them it’s a good idea, and be confident they’ll stay convinced for long enough to get what he wants, because otherwise the 7 most moderate members will happily defect and start writing their campaign ads about how they’re independent minded who won’t be pushed around by anyone. He’s already got 3 defectors in the current fight.
by macNchz | 2025-11-02 13:43:55+00:00
It seems like their whole platform depends on it though… to my read they’re providing their users with cloud devcontainers to connect to from their local VS Code, then deploying to production by snapshotting the container with docker commit. Those containers have SSH enabled to the internet, which is where all of the auth logs came from that wound up baked into the images.

The trouble is that "AI" is also very much a leaky abstraction, which makes it tempting to see all the "AI" advances of recent years, then correctly predict that these "AI" advances will continue, but then jump to all sorts of wrong conclusions about what those advances will be.

For example, things like "AI" image and video generation are amazing, as are things like AlphaGo and AlphaFold, but none of these have anything to do with LLMs, and the only technology they share with LLMs is machine learning and neural nets. If you lump these together with LLMs, calling them all "AI", then you'll come to the wrong conclusion that all of these non-LLM advances indicate that "AI" is rapidly advancing and therefore LLMs (also being "AI") will do too ...

Even if you leave aside things like AlphaGo, and just focus on LLMs, and other future technology that may take all our jobs, then using terms like "AI" and "AGI" are still confusing and misleading. It's easy to fall into the mindset that "AGI" is just better "AI", and that since LLMs are "AI", AGI is just better LLMs, and is around the corner because "AI" is advancing rapidly ...

In reality LLMs are, like AlphaFold, something highly specific - they are auto-regressive next-word predictor language models (just as a statement of fact, and how they are trained, not a put-down), based on the Transformer architecture.

The technology that could replace humans for most jobs in the future isn't going to be a better language model - a better auto-regressive next-word predictor - but will need to be something much more brain like. The architecture itself doesn't have to be brain-like, but in order to deliver brain-like functionality it will probably need to include another half-dozen "Transformer-level" architectural/algorithmic breakthroughs including things like continual learning, which will likely turn the whole current LLM training and deployment paradigm on it's head.

Again, just focusing on LLMs, and LLM-based agents, regarding them as a black-box technology, it's easy to be misled into thinking that advances in capability are broadly advancing, and will rise all ships, when in reality progress is much more narrow. Headlines about LLMs achievement in math and competitive programming, touted as evidence of reasoning, do NOT imply that LLM reasoning is broadly advancing, but you need to get under the hood and understand RL training goals to realize why that is not necessarily the case. The correctness of most business and real-world reasoning is not as easy to check as is marking a math problem as correct or not, yet that capability is what RL training depends on.

I could go on .. LLM-based agents are also blurring the lines of what "AI" can do, and again if treated as a black box will also misinform as to what is actually progressing and what is not. Thousands of bright people are indeed working on improving LLM-adjacent low-hanging fruit like this, but it'd be illogical to conclude that this is somehow helping to create next-generation brain-like architectures that will take away our jobs.

My company is paying for Claude Max for me and a dozen other developers. The others are using the API. If their API usage cost hits a level where it's cheaper to move them to Max, they're moved to Max.

There's no hard mandate to use Claude Code, but the value for us is clear to exec management and they are willing to foot the bill.

Venezuela:

- Demonstrable ties with US adversaries Hezbollah and Iran.

- Close ties with US adversary Russia.

- Close ties with US adversary China.

- Indisputable drug production and transit.

- Threatened neighboring Guyana and previously Columbia.

- Rigged at least one and likely two elections.

- Ruined its economy for most of its citizens.

- Strategically aided illegal immigration of criminals into US.

No responsible government would permit a country this hostile to US interests to persist. This build up is part of a high stakes negotiation to peacefully change regimes in VZ. If Maduro rejects it, he and his cronies will be forcibly removed.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

> if it's a co-worker acknowledging receipt of a legal document, then it is both unprofessional, and annoying.

Disagree - a reaction is a perfect acknowledgement and a clear sign of “you don’t need to do anything here”. If they send an actual email it could be:

Acknowledged, thanks. By the way can you change X to Y?

And it’s super easy to miss.

If you take a look at submarines like this one they blew up

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1153966324414...

They are almost always used as narco trafficking. However, we only know that is usually the case, not that this particular one was used for that purpose.

There are a handful of civilian legal use submarines of this form and submersibles used for tourist and science purposes, however if a scientist or tourist rich enough to fund recreational submarines were killed it's likely the family would have come forward by now.

It frustrates me no end when large commercial web sites fail to store state in URLs. It should be updated when the user clicks the 'submit' button of a page, especially when related to searching.

Some products have these fancy KQL style search parameters but if you forget to 'save the search' within the applications 'Save Search' facility, then when you duplicate a tab the search is lost.

It feels rude when sites ignore the UX improvement by not leveraging the power of URLs to store current state.

I'm aware of how they are used, but fundamentally there is nothing with the words "array" and "vector" that says that one has a fixed size and the other has a dynamic size. If anything, it should be the other way around. Using the name vector for dynamic arrays is annoying when doing any kind of math coding. Even the designer of STL says the name was a mistake.

Maduro manipulated and arguably stole an election in 2019 rather than give up power to interests who the US prefers.

I mean, this time round: the man is unequivocally not good. No one thinks Maduro's regime is legitimate — there's pretty broad consensus in North and South America. Internationally he has less support than Hugo Chavez had, because he has no legitimacy at home.

But the reality is still the same: old-fashioned interests in the USA want much more control over what happens in Venezuela, what Venezuela sells to and to whom.

Trump, spurned for admiration and a Nobel peace prize, wants a war presidency now, because that's an easier source of narcissistic supply.

(And also as he has mused in the past, perhaps a source of "wartime powers", which may most simply explain why he's renamed the DoD to the Department of War: it's all part of the narrative he is building for himself and his supporters.)

He knows nobody is going to have a credible argument that Maduro is legitimate but we're back in the second gulf war territory: the "why now" of it.

He is picking a fight and waiting for them to lash out.

If you don't feel like understanding the thing to be pissed off about here are the AI crawlers, we don't feel like understanding your displeasure about the Anubis wall either. The choices are either the Anubis wall or nothing. This isn't theoretical, I've been involved in this decision: we had to either close off the service entirely, or put [something like] Anubis in front of it.

> have to face a 3s stupid nagscreens like the one of anubis, I'm very pissed off and pushed even more to bypass the website when possible to get the info I want directly from llm or search engine.

Most (freely accessible) LLMs will take more than 3s to "think". Why are you pissed off about Anubis, but not the slow LLM? And then you have to double check the LLM anyway...

> All of that because in the current lambda/cloud computing word, it became very expensive to process only a few requests.

You're making some very arrogant assumptions here. FOSS repos and bugtrackers are generally not lambda/cloud hosted.
