This seems like it has some potential, but is pretty much useless as it is.

Shame there are no weights released - let alone the "compiler" tool they used to actually synthesize computational primitives into model weights. It seems like a "small model" system that's amenable to low budget experiments, and I would love to see what this approach can be pushed towards.

I disagree with the core premise, it's basically the old neurosymbolic garbage restated, but embedding predefined computational primitives into LLMs could have some uses nonetheless.

Wouldn’t it be possible to automate creating these packages ? I know that it is not the thing that the curl creator needs to do. But if he does not do it, I’m not sure who will. Also I’m not even sure who will use curl via nuget?!
I also think that nuget should be namespaced…

Also as long as you don’t use it to curl random things the security impact is not that high and I doubt that there a tons of uses for that.. you probably won’t attack yourself?

> So it is in fact a big problem for CG-NATs.

Only if they're under provisioned. If my home really needed tens of thousands I'd provision another ipv4 address, but it doesn't -- at the moment I have a mere 121 active connections in my firewall.

The cost of a firewall is far more than the cost of an ipv4 address, which are available for about $20 each.

> Having global addressing is also just useful in and of itself, even without global reachability.

Except that doesn't happen, as most locations will not be BGP peering and advertising their own /48 (routing tables would melt)

Instead if you change your ISP, you change your IP address. Unless you use private ips in the fc00:: range, which is no different to using rfc1918 addresses for the vast majority of users

there was a Catholic reason for this, the Fatima Sheppards. there was an "apparition" of Virgin Mary and some "Prophecies" that were really imprinted on all Catholics over 50 years old. pretty much anti-russian propaganda. they silently pedal back from them in the last 25 years. but last time I visited sn important catholic monument internationally, most of the people in the bus knew about them, how they talk about the end of the world but never realized the Vatican already made them public all and it was a sham.

I think there's a piece missing here. Capital owners are humans too, and what humans want (perhaps especially the ones who accumulate capital), is to be at the top of a hierarchy. But a hierarchy needs participants. If nobody else is playing the game, there's no top to be on top of. Strip away the people willing to compete, admire, envy, or just show up, and the whole structure collapses. It's not clear that a world of pure capital-on-AI-labor actually gives them what they're after. It sounds lonely and meaningless to me. I don't think that it would feed the black hole in their chests.

From 2017, it predates RISC-V first ratified spec.

Currently, RISC-V holds the crown of code density in both 64 and 32 bit.

On 32bit, thumb2 is a little behind. On 64bit, x86-64 is not even close, and ARMv8/v9 are even worse.

"mechanism to enforce that is parental control on devices."

Meh, I use it, but it's super annoying and I think that with my Daughter I'll take a different approach (but it will be some years before that is relevant).

On Android: The kid can easily go on Snapchat (after approval of install of course, and then you can just see their "friends") before Pokemon Go (just a pain to get working, it keeps presenting some borked version which led to a lot of confusion at first). I just lied about his age in a bunch of places at some point. Snapchat is horrible and sick from our experiences in the first week.

On Windows: It's a curated set of websites (and no FireFox) or access to everything. It's not even workable for just school. Granting kids access to our own minercraft servers: My god, I felt dirty about what the other parents had to go through to enable that.

Religion is just one of the excuses/covers used to grab more power and/or shiny baubles by psychopatic people. And there are the ones who just want to see others suffer no matter what. Most of the people that are left don't feel like lifting a finger unless it directly endangers their own comfortable life.

Call me cynical, but I haven't seen any improvement in human nature in 50 years.

> American Catholics aren't really a monolith on this matter

No, but as a general rule, Catholics don’t and have never fretted about the end times the way all sorts of Protestant sects have, historically. Which is curious given Matthew 24:36 and all the hullabaloo Protestants make about being “scriptural”. And perhaps more importantly, because it has authority on such matters, Church teaching makes no claims about when the end of the world will occur and it never has, because it cannot.

Public buildings on the mall and public lands.

Reminds me of Robert Moses and the highways on Long Island. His Long Island State Park Commission had an opportunity to buy enough land to plan for light rail in the future. He refused to consider it, and now the region suffers for it.

It was all about cars for Moses. Drump is all about the luxury real estate deal.

Today there’s no mountain of money large enough to buy the land necessary to improve Long Island public transit on the North Shore.

And once public lands are sold, they’re gone. Once public buildings are sold, they’ll be leased back to us.

Plunder and congress does nothing.

Really cool that all data stays local in the browser — that's exactly how privacy-sensitive tools should work. As someone building a Chrome extension myself, I appreciate the no-account-needed approach. For UX feedback: have you considered adding a simple onboarding screen on first install? Even a single page explaining what it does and how to start would help with retention. Nice work shipping this!

I personally think that when he mentioned her name during that interview, it was intended to be used as an archetypal proxy in place of someone else (another public figure) that he had personal dealings with. Yudkowsky checks those same boxes (mission focused on specific existential risk, gets a cult following) for example.

That being said, I don’t care much for Christian prophecies. Better to talk why than who.

Initial thought was to find a simple 'limit-on-itself' state/var for a very trivial usecase — limit downloads in a stateless JS app. Track n-times, then expire. Reload updates the session. Like radioactive material and its half-life. My brain said: the solution is already there. So CC found it and says; 'old tech, new usecase'. And that it could be a big deal. So here it is, you decide.

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” ― Ira Glass

> It is especially weird because JavaScript was not supposed to be processed at all! This is all wrong if you ask me.

You're not actually suggesting that technology can't evolve are you? Especially one whose original design goals were to process basic forms and are now being used to build full-blown apps?

It's absolutely wild to me that with everything that has happened in the last 2 decades with regard to the web there are still people who refuse to accept that it's changed. We are building far bigger and more complex applications with JavaScript. What would you propose instead?

>This is a great solution to the stated problem. The issue is that nobody is actually trying to solve the stated problem. This is a terrible solution to the real 'problem' which is the lack of surveillance power and information control.

So on the Sony consoles I created an account for my child and guess what they have implemented some stuff to block children from adult content on some stuff.

So if Big Tech would actually want to prevent laws to be created could make it easy for a parent to setup the account for a child (most children this days have mobile stuff and consoles so they could start with those), we just need the browsers to read the age flag from the OS and put it in a header, then the websites owners can respect that flag.

I know that someone would say that some clever teen would crack their locked down windows/linux to change the flag but this is a super rare case, we should start with the 99% cases, mobile phones and consoles are already locked down so an OS API that tells the browser if this is an child account and a browser header would solve the issue, most porn websites or similar adult sites would have no reason not to respect this header , it would make their job easier then say Steam having to always popup a birth date thing when a game is mature.

This is not at all an MCP server you want to use with a regular tool, as this is about low level context window management. Tbh it’s really trivial to do this, and I have no idea why OP decided to make an MCP server for this as it’s completely useless for that.

As a matter of fact, i think this is not a problem at all as Anthropic makes it extremely easy to cache stuff; you just set your preferred cache level on the last message, and Anthropic will automatically cache it under the hood. Every distinct message is another “cache” point, eg they first compute the hash of all messages, if not found, compute the hash of all messages - 1, etc.

It’s really a non problem.

> What's the difference between using the Tor and Ceno browsers?

> Unlike Tor Browser, Ceno Browser is not a tool for anonymity, which is Tor's primary purpose. In the Tor network, network traffic is encrypted and routed through a network of relays run by volunteers, and appears to originate from the IP address of an exit node. Tor is an excellent option for privacy from Internet surveillance and website operators. If it works in your network environment, we recommend it, provided that you've also read their support documentation.

> Ceno's primary distinction from a VPN is that it does attempt to route all of your website requests through the decentralized network. When a website is available without restriction, Ceno will simply connect to it like a normal web browser. Also, Ceno users cache and share content with each other. This reduces the strain on censorship circumvention nodes and improves deliverability.

It's an interesting paradox: the more we made computing accessible, the less we got out of it.

When a PC was expected to boot to an OS and not much else, we had all the freedom - by necessity - to tinker and learn. Hardware was barely enough for most day-to-day usage, so we upgraded relatively frequently and got to know the physical innards as well.

This is all so streamlined today that even computers can be smartphones with "apps", or even just a browser that gets you to google slides and everything else (or the MS equivalents). It was probably a necessity that, as computers became infrastructure, they would become simplified, so 90% of the population can indeed file their tax return online (and the remaining 10% have their younger family members do it).

This also means that people nowadays simply don't know that they can walk into any second hand store and get a $200 PC with a warranty that'll be much more productive than any smartphone if they have the knowledge to use it properly. But was there really a loss? These are, for the most part, people that would not have been able to hop on the internet wagon if it'd relied on maintaining a linux distro at all. That's regarding adults; children now do indeed grow up with walled systems for the most part, and that might be a loss.

Again, a proper C compiler in combination with sensible coding standards should prevent "miscast pointers" at compile time / static analysis. Anyway, being better than C at typing / memory safety, is a very low bar to pass.

I'm curious in what situation catching a typing exception would be useful though. The practice of catching exceptions due to bugs seems silly to me. What's the point of restarting the app if it's buggy?

Likewise, trying to catch exceptions due to for example dividing by zero is a strange practice. Instead check your inputs and throw an "invalid input" exception, because exceptions are really only sensible for invalid user input, or external state being wrong (unreadable input file, network failures, etc.).

America will just get behind even more as years pass behind Europe in terms of proper regulation of the digital economy, which benefits citizens instead of companies and rich billionaries.

The reason is that europeans have nothing to win from those "winner-take-all" platforms the US has built in the past decades. Europe has built zero of them.

It contributes very little to Europe's GDP or the overall being of the european. And in some cases, it eats Europe's GDP, moving economic activity back to the US. This is different than for Americans which big tech is a net-positive contributor to society in my POV, mainly because how much economic activity $ it generates.

Big techs provide huge paychecks and made a lot of people rich in the US, and most of its GDP growth in the last decade. But it's a double-edged sword.

They will make laws in favor of them in detriment of the average American, while minting more billionaries than Europe could ever dream of.

Europe will take a long time to get the digital revolution the US already did, but it'll mostly come from regulations and government initiatives. And will be net-positive for humans living in Euope, not for owners of corporations.

Problems with well-known solutions 100 years ago:

"Fireproof file rooms and cabinets in the 1920s were crucial for protecting business and government records during the rapid expansion of the industrial era. The era saw a massive shift from flammable wooden office furniture to robust, steel-based storage designed to resist both fire and water damage."

That's a Google AI summary - but I've been in a fair number of buildings with such rooms. Thick concrete walls, heavy steel fire doors, no other openings, nothing but steel file cabinets in 'em, sealed electric light fixtures that look like they belong in a powder magazine (where one spark could kill everyone) - it's really simple tech.

And "high ground" was a reliable flood protection tech several centuries before that.

Ok, some important context for non-Swedes.
Anyone can get access to all Swedish (non-protected but those are a very VERY small subset) personal identification numbers by simply signing an agreement with SPAR[1] (the Swedish national people database). Identification numbers per se are not particularly useful or hard to get, they are effectively public information. Using SPAR you can also get the home (and any additional) addresses of individuals

A Swedish citizen database is... you know. fun. But not exactly hard to get hold of.

Both Trump and Biden had their issues, but Trump has lost far more than "some spring in his step," the man is sundowning publicly, barely coherent, and it's obvious some serious medical condition is being covered up by his staff. Anyone seeing him can tell he's far worse off than Biden ever was. "Active cyclist to a slow elderly gait" versus "appeared to have a stroke on camera." Trump literally shat himself on camera.

Again, it's baffling that it's only a problem when it's Biden.

>Following that traditional playbook in the face of his obvious physical condition, is why we have today's SCOTUS, DOW, Trump Kennedy Center, ...

Trump's SCOTUS picks happened during is first term. It seems like you're just ranting now.

The fact is Kamala Harris could have won. At the end, the race came down to a fraction of a percent difference between her and Trump. Following the traditional playbook would have worked if only Kamala Harris would have walked away from supporting an active genocide. The lesson of Trump is as much about the right's success as the left's failure. Not of policy, but strategy. The right simply holds the line as the left constantly self-sabotages, giving up real power for the sake of moral victory.

It doesn't help that the "Leftist" party in American politics (at least the only relevant party) is anything but. The success of leftist politics in the US requires a complete restructuring of an inherently fascistic and white supremacist system and culture to break the two party system, campaign finance reform, ending first past the post and the electoral college, and tons of other things. Years-long projects laying out the political and cultural infrastructure. That isn't something you can solve with a panic vote for a third party candidate a couple of months before the election, or by just opting out.

But if you look at their numbers, they still can pay it back in a short period of time. Like 1-3 years.

And their core business is super stable even with AI.

So the only real risk is increasing operational costs but if they pay of the investment, they literlay could just stop the hardware from running and reduce the operational cost if there is no demand

I no longer use GitHub for original projects. Source for fftool isn't public yet but I understand the concern — running an unaudited binary is a real ask. My site leans toward educational, so that people consider building the tool from the instructions in the article. I may host the source on the site as a zip or tarball at some point so people can more easily build it.

As for Linux API - TIOCGWINSZ via syscall.IOCTL to get terminal dimensions.

Why Linux and Go - Linux is the only OS I use. I like Go because it produces a single static binary with no runtime dependencies. Thanks for your interest.

I have often thought that there should be a public ledger of some sort for people (powered by vouching), and then immediately forseen the negative externalities and abandoned that idea.

Reputation is as harmful as it is good. Anyone who survived being unpopular in high school, or seen the dummies that can be elected in democracies, should be able to explain how.

No, it is better to judge works by their merits than it is to judge people by their popularity. Though it is far more expensive.

Silverblue is supposed to be for normies. Rollbacks are for when you screw everything up.

But honestly I did not like Silverblue. I had a 13 year old gaming computer I installed it on and I couldnt get the ancient GPU drivers installed due to the way things are containerized. This would have been a few commands otherwise.

Maybe its fine for chromebook-like things. I might have picked a bad testcase.

Some good notes on heartburn, a fiber regime, some combination of wheat dextrin, psyllium husk, inulin. All 3 are different and serve a somewhat different function.

Foods to eat, oatmeal, lentils.

Ginger tea, activated charcoal tabs.

Most all of that works very well to support gut bacteria so throwing some probiotics in as well can help. The gummy kind available in generic or Digestive Advantage work well!

This is such a weird take. Huge amounts of refugees displaced from Afghanistan, a US pullout that left their allies in the country to their own devices. 20+ years of funding drug lords and war lords, doling out wads of cash. It went nowhere. The US made no real efforts to fix afghan infrastructure or any real problems the country was facing. The taliban beat the biggest military force in the world with very small means. Read up on the relationship between the mujahideen, Carter&reagan admins and the Soviet afghan war.
