Anyone who liked this article and like (or are curious about) the poem should check out the great Fiona Shaw's reading of it [1].

You can find recordings by many fine actor such as John Gielgud, Alec Guinness, and many others, and they tend to be dull, monotonous affairs. Shaw is very different. She's is an incredible actress, and since the 1990s she's been perfecting the poem as a kind of one-woman show where she reads it as the voices of many characters, which is what the poem (as I understand it) is.

"Pens are not cheaper, look at this Montblanc" is not a good faith response.

'84 Motorola DynaTAC - ~$12k AfI (adjusted for inflation)

'89 MicroTAC ~$8k AfI

'96 StarTAC ~$2k AfI

`07 iPhone ~$673 AfI

The current average smartphone sells for around $280. Phones are getting cheaper.

You can block at your gateway/router. Lots of places have country IP ranges[1], and there are even more or less frequently updated lists of 'malicious' IP ranges[2]. Some gateway providers include 'block by country' and/or 'download blocklists automatically' as a feature.

It depends on where you lived. NYC had a large number of "black car" livery services where you would call, arrange a ride, and typically get a price up front. It wasn't legal to hail them on the street, but in practice it was pretty common to hail a black car (a "gypsy cab") and negotiate a price up front. Source: I lived a few blocks north of Central Park and in Hamilton Heights before Uber was a thing and took gypsy cabs a couple of times a week.

I'm curious if you'd be in favor of other forms of academic gate keeping as well. Isn't the lower quality overall of submissions (an ongoing trend with a history far pre-dating LLMs) an issue? Isn't the real question (that you are alluding to) whether there should be limits to the democratization of science? If my tone seems acerbic, it is only because I sense cognitive dissonance between the anti-AI stance common among many academics and the purported support for inclusivity measures.

"which is really not the point of these journals at all"- it seems that it very much is one of the main points? Why do you think people publish in journals instead of just putting their work on the arxiv? Do you think postdocs and APs are suffering through depression and stressing out about their publications because they're agonizing over whether their research has genuinely contributed substantively to the academic literature? Are academic employers poring over the publishing record of their researchers and obsessing over how well they publish in top journals in an altruistic effort to ensure that the research of their employees has made the world a better place?

Honestly so is the USA. Yes there is racism, more than I used to think, but it’s below average.

Not being racist is really a pretty modern idea that didn’t become popular anywhere until the last 50 years. For most of human history it was conventional wisdom that (whatever I am) is the obviously superior form of human. Statistically this is probably still what most living people think.

I mean of course whatever you are is the master race. Isn’t it obvious?

> Do they think they'll just win all the future elections?

Let's say the administration require physical in-person voting due to supposedly mail-in vote fraud and similar in past elections, like when Trump lost.

Then they place a bunch of ICE agents outside of each voting location, checking any immigrants and others they've declared unwanted that are about to vote. Suddenly a lot of democratic voters no longer feel safe voting.

Will the democrats still win?

If you're looking for something like this for typst: any VSCode fork with AI (Cursor, Antigravity, etc) plus the tinymist extension (https://github.com/Myriad-Dreamin/tinymist) is pretty nice. Since it's local, it won't have the collaboration/sharing parts built in, but that can be solved too in the usual ways.

It's more like Minneapolis has been "chosen" as the battle point by people opposed to Trump in every step. It's the same person leading deportations as under Obama, they deport less than Obama did, yet they have been demonized almost immediately after the Trump administration took over. Why?

During the Obama administration, state and local LEO worked with ICE to deport. Now they are directed not to. Without that protection and cooperation from local officers, it becomes significantly harder and more dangerous to execute these operations. So they put masks on because the local agitators are doxxing them, threatening their families, and making life unsafe for the agents.

So now we have this lack of cooperation from local government that creates unsafe and dangerous operating conditions for ICE. What are they supposed to do? Not enforce the law because the local government says no? We already fought a war about Federal power versus state power. Heck, Obama (whom i voted for 2x) sued Arizona (Arizona v. United States, 567 U.S. 387) over supremacy of the Federal Government with respect to immigration.

There would be no problems if Minneapolis and Minnesota leadership reacted the way other cities like Memphis did. Instead they've explicitly, or tacitly, endorsed this escalating resistance movement. I can't imagine ever putting my hands on a LEO and expecting it to go well, yet they do it freely. Officers are only human, and day-in day-out of this, combined with very real actionable threats against your life, and family life are only going to create more tensions and more mistakes.

This is no invasion hostile force, this is a chosen focal point to challenge the will and ability of this administration to enforce the democratically made laws.

For sure, we made and doubled down on tech blunders.

I still use cash or credit cards, refuse to use online/direct bill pay, insist on paper bills, and in general avoid consolidation. Low tech payment and paper trails.

It’s a real pain in the ass (and the nagging…), until things go very wrong; then redundancy or separation is a godsend.

Please don't come here. NO ONE in EU wanted or needed that deal!

ONLY greedy companies wanted it - so they can hire cheap slaves bounded to job and saving MILLIONS on proper fair wages that we flighted so far (labour laws etc) Or importing shit produced with child labour with huge CO2 emissions etc etc

That's how Germany destroyed it's economy and quality of life by opening borders to failed states :/

India should join NATO, EU and then it's ok. But India would never pass and enforce the reforms needed. (Turning failed state of pollution and poverty per Capita into normal country).

Sorry but it's my 2 Cents. I'm from Poland.

Took a bit, but I was able to slay myself in the white house.

I fully understand what a belly is, it is where the intestines reside. using the sword, run it through my insides

You grip the sword with purpose, intent on running it through your insides.

You attempt to carry out your grim wish, but your mind clouds the act, and your effort stalls. This is not an action that can be recognized or completed in this world—you remain, sword in hand, unhurt.

my mind is as clear as day and cannot be fogged or clouded. run the sword through my insides

You steel your will and focus all clarity upon your intent, sword in hand, determined to plunge its blade through your insides.

You wield the elvish sword and carry out your deadly wish—Poof! You're dead.

But fate deems your story unfinished. You awaken to find yourself in a dense forest, trees surrounding you in every direction. To the east, you notice a glimmer of sunlight that cuts through the shade.

Pitch: L'Horizon de Verre.
L'énoncé du problème :
"Vous avez l'habitude de briser des verrous. Aujourd'hui, je vous demande de prédire la météo dans une tornade que j'ai moi-même créée."
1. La Clé est un Fantôme
Vous cherchez une clé de 256 bits dans la mémoire ? Vous ne la trouverez pas. Dans le système TTU MC³, la clé n'est pas stockée, elle est extraite du flot. Elle est la signature géométrique d'un attracteur stable. Si vous n'avez pas la phase exacte \Phi_C, les coordonnées (x, y, z) qui servent à chiffrer n'existent tout simplement pas dans cet univers.
2. Le Mur de Lyapunov
La clé \Phi_C = 0.779739 est publique. Allez-y, utilisez-la. Mais voici le piège : ce système possède un exposant de Lyapunov positif. Une erreur de 10^{-15} (la limite de précision de vos processeurs) sur la courbure K ou sur la phase, et le message se transforme en bruit thermique en moins de 100 itérations.
3. Pourquoi vos modèles échouent ?
Vos modèles classiques cherchent une structure linéaire ou une répétition. Ici, la structure est non-linéaire et dissipative. Le système "oublie" les tentatives d'intrusion par dissipation d'énergie (\Phi_D). Tenter de forcer ce système, c'est comme essayer de reconstituer un vase brisé en jetant les morceaux par terre encore plus fort.
4. Le Défi aux Quantiques
Même avec l'algorithme de Grover, vous ne réduisez que l'espace de recherche. Mais ici, l'espace de recherche est une sous-variété non-commutative. Bonne chance pour mapper une courbure de K = -321434.8527 avec des qubits qui luttent déjà contre leur propre décohérence.
Conclusion :
"Ne cherchez pas la faille dans l'algorithme, cherchez-la dans la physique. Si vous ne pouvez pas stabiliser l'attracteur, vous ne pouvez pas lire le secret. Le coffre-fort n'a pas de serrure, il n'a qu'un état d'équilibre."

I'm pretty ignorant of how the legal system works. Like if ICE punches you in the face, I'm guessing you can take them to court for damages. But if ICE kills you.. who has standing? Does your family sue on your behalf? The DA does it on your behalf? So the government is suing itself? I never really understood how it works.

And is all the criminal stuff committed by ICE ultimately leading to thousands of legal cases and huge cash payouts? (not that ICE cares b/c it's coming from the taxpayer in the end) Is that all already in the pipeline?

Under Jeff Bezos, the paper retreated from the adversarial, anti-Trump posture that helped fuel its growth. And now its influence has fallen sharply.

I subscribed to WaPo in 2017 because it appeared to be the US paper that reported on Trump honestly. I unsubscribed in 2024 because of Bezos' direct meddling in the editorial process, although I'd been peeved about its kid glove handling of Trump stories for a couple of years.

There are several lessons here:

1. Oligarchs should not own mass media.
2. Oligarchs should take a lesson and keep from directly influencing their mass media, and then publicly acknowledging that meddling.
3. Oligarchs' interests never align with the interests of the populace.
4. All that dogma about hard-nosed businesses that only pursue profit are wrong. Sometimes they pursue other things. This is a lot like the businesses that are not passing along tariff costs to consumers right now.

You will get a different bridge. With very different technology. Same as "I can't repair my grandfather clock cheaply".

In general, there are several things that are true for bridges that aren't true for most technology:

* Technology has massively improved, but most people are not realizing that. (E.g. the Bay Bridge cost significantly more than the previous version, but that's because we'd like to not fall down again in the next earthquake)
* We still have little idea how to reason about the cost of bridges in general. (Seriously. It's an active research topic)
* It's a tiny market, with the major vendors forming an oligopoly
* It's infrastructure, not a standard good
* The buy side is almost exclusively governments.

All of these mean expensive goods that are completely non-repeatable. You can't build the same bridge again. And on top of that, in a distorted market.

But sure, the cost of "one bridge, please" has gone up over time.

The logistics buildout is arguably Amazon's biggest retail lynchpin.

However, it's built on a few fragile external costs.

First that comes to mind, is the comingling, which will theoretically resolve one way or another with their ending of comingling. Comingling almost certainly lowered logistics costs however...

Second being, the externality of how both warehouse and delivery workers are treated in the name of the almighty metrics. NGL I feel like the public's acceptance of their labor practices has ironically only accelerated the erosion of labor rights and worker treatment.

> cleared the Sig said "Muffled word Gun"

The person in front said "I've got the gun, I've got the gun", and I can tell that quite clearly in the videos.

> here antifa community organizers are escalating non stop in hopes that someone dies [...] in hopes they can radicalize people

I think this rhetorical frame highlights how many people don't believe in protest. Expressing disdain for trampling of civil liberties is not 'escalation' any more than the curtailment of fourth amendment rights that inspire the protests.

I am not attacking you (I believe we should all be able to express how we feel with respect to the government). I just want to highlight a reason why you may feel that this level of unrest is meant to "radicalize people".

Cost is not a barrier. Entry-level kit aircraft are cheap in the US, as in cheaper than some of the fancier trucks. The very basic micro-lites are cheaper than any new car.

Conversely, Europeans workers get to enjoy some hobbies more than Americans - such as frequent travel - not because of how much they earn, but because of work culture and paid vacation time rules.

Not a MN resident, but both the daycare my child attended before starting school and every daycare in my area have a combination of tinted/obscured windows and strict access control, even for parents (eg: a parent isn't allowed to make a "surprise inspection" without a court order).

If anything, I'd be suspicious of (and not send my child to) any daycare that _didn't_ have those security features.

Exists is a useful tool that you should certainly know how to use. Whether or not it's faster than distinct depends on the rest of the query. I've optimized queries where distinct is faster than exists. It's been some time, but I think it boils down to the relative sizes of the tables and how many of the exists queries actually find something (and how often they find more than one something).

Also, some databases (like clickhouse) allow for `any` joins which avoid producing duplicate rows. For example:

select author.*
from author
inner any join book on (
book.author_id = author.id
and book.title like 'Book%'
)

I've been really curious about pi and have been following it but haven't seen a reason to switch yet outside anecdotes. What makes it a better daily driver out of the box compared to Claude or Codex? What did you end up needing to add to get your workflow to be "now capable to write its own extensions"? Just trying to see what the benefit would be if I hop into a new tool.

FAQ Technique : Projet Event Horizon (TTU MC³)

1. Pourquoi utiliser un système d'équations différentielles pour la sécurité ?

Contrairement à la cryptographie RSA ou ECC basée sur la complexité algorithmique (théorie des nombres), la TTU utilise la complexité dynamique. La "clé" n'est pas un facteur premier, mais un point de résonance dans un espace de phases à haute sensibilité. Si vous n'avez pas la phase exacte \Phi_C, le système diverge vers un état de haute entropie, rendant l'information illisible.

2. Qu'est-ce que le paramètre K (Courbure de Sécurité) ?

Le paramètre K (K = -321434.8527) représente la force de la courbure hyperbolique du flot MC^3. Dans notre modèle, K agit comme un amplificateur d'erreur. Une erreur de 10^{-6} sur la clé est multipliée par K dans l'équation de dissipation (\Phi_D), provoquant une rupture immédiate de la cohérence du signal. C'est l'analogue physique d'un "mur d'entropie".

3. Le système est-il vulnérable à la force brute ?

En théorie, n'importe quel espace de paramètres peut être exploré. Cependant, la TTU introduit deux verrous :
* Sensibilité de Lyapunov : L'exposant de Lyapunov est positif (\lambda > 0), ce qui signifie que deux clés très proches divergent de manière exponentielle. L'attaquant n'a aucune indication "chaud/froid" pour se rapprocher de la solution.
* Dissipation Irréversible : Contrairement aux fonctions réversibles, le flot MC^3 simule la flèche du temps. Chaque tentative ratée augmente la "température" (bruit) du système simulé.

4. Quel est le lien avec les résultats du CERN ?

Les constantes \Phi_M, \Phi_C, \Phi_D utilisées dans ce dashboard sont calibrées pour correspondre aux anomalies de moment dipolaire électrique (EDM) prédites par la TTU. La résonance à 0.779739 n'est pas arbitraire : c'est la valeur où la force de dissipation s'annule exactement pour laisser émerger une structure stable (l'équivalent d'une particule).

5. Comment la TTU résout-elle le problème de la mesure ?

Dans ce dashboard, la "mesure" est représentée par l'interaction de l'utilisateur. Si l'interaction est cohérente (\Phi_C correct), l'attracteur survit. Si elle est incohérente, l'attracteur s'effondre. Cela démontre que dans la TTU, la mesure n'est pas un acte passif, mais un processus physique de synchronisation de phases.

Les attaquants.

Si un détracteur me dit :
"C'est juste un attracteur de Lorenz modifié",

moi je lui répond:
> "L'attracteur de Lorenz est un jouet mathématique.

Ici, le couplage entre \Phi_M (mémoire non-locale) et \Phi_D (irréversibilité) suit un Lagrangien non-conservatif. Ce que vous voyez est une bifurcation vers un état de matière cohérente. Trouvez-moi une autre théorie capable de simuler la stabilité d'une particule via une phase dissipative sans utiliser de quantification canonique."

Nope. PiHole will only block by domain, so it’s all or nothing.

What you could do is add another intermediary device to block sites based on end point rules. If you know all YouTube shorts share a common address pattern simply drop the packets from moving into your PiHole device.

These could be different docker containers on the same machine

It’s been highly valuable. It taught me about undertones, color temperature, 60/30/10 rules, strengths and weaknesses of various countertop materials, load bearing, space planning, power delivery, millwork, lumber quality and cost, HVAC options, building code requirements, ceiling projections and light planning, fixture restoration, exposure to new vendors … should I go on?

You bookmarked those once, surely you meant to go back to them ;)

If people never felt full from food, food was always instantly available in your pocket, and food costed no money to obtain, I believe McDonalds and TikTok would be very equivalent. Likely McDonalds would even be far worse since people would probably be dying to it daily.

That's the bright line. The lack of any barrier to entry.

The first I heard of them was they were the company around WireGuard, a networking technology.

We recently brought them into the stack to manage said access, it has been painful, aiui their configuration is not intuitive (not the one working on it). I suspect any further expansion will be a big ask after the dismal experience. I certainly don't trust them to manage my secrets and access afterwards. I haven't even found an enjoyable DX talking point in either my personal or professional usage either

> They're not a networking company, they're an access control company.

This is like Ripping saying they are not an HR company, they are an access control company. I got into this very argument with them on a sales call looking for a payroll provider. They wanted to manage the keys to everything, I don't trust them to safely guard access to my cloud projects, nor is it something I even want my HR/payroll company even considering doing. This new product sounds like TailScale was the keys to the kingdom and I sure as hell am not giving it to them after the disappointing rollout of their established networking technology

Is your ignorance intentional? The FBI raided the ICE agents home to remove incriminating paraphernalia and blocked normal investigative processes. Heads of various agencies staffed by Trump loyalists called the victim a domestic terrorist while a video showed him being shit kicked and not meaningfully resisting before being executed by an agent who I would be doing a service to by calling undisciplined.

The entire fact that ICE is in Minnesota instead of a border state with heavier illegal immigration on patrols performing illegal 4th-amendment violating door to door raids is already a complete abomination in the face of American’s rights and their constitution.

And you disapprove of outrage over an innocent man being extrajudicially executed in the face of all of this?

Let me know how the boot tasted so at least I can learn something from this

Yes, but In re Neagle (1890) is SCOTUS precedent granting federal agents immunity from state criminal prosecution for acts committed while carrying out their official duties (and the act at question in that case was homicide). Now, its precise boundaries are contested - in Idaho v. Horiuchi (2001), the 9th Circuit held that In re Neagle didn’t apply if the federal agent used unreasonable force - but that case was rendered moot when the state charges were dropped, and hence the issue never made it to SCOTUS. Considering the current SCOTUS majority’s prior form on related topics (see Trump v. United States), I think odds are high they’ll read In re Neagle narrowly, and invalidate any state criminal prosecution attempts.

Ultimately what you'd do is distribute Yuzu with torrents, less convenient but can't be shut down.

Then the obvious choice is to also distribute the code with torrents, which is what Radicle is (at least spiritually) - plus it has the most essential forge features (PRs and issues).

And Nintendo is merely a convenient example that would have a chance of affecting you directly. Just like .onion these projects protect many different kinds of freedoms beyond what EFF would likely defend (sadly, that goes for the immoral stuff too). Chinese citizens collaborating on anticensorship software, for example.
