I do not think that is reasonable to believe that because a report has some mundane findings that it indicates that the whole report should be dismissed.
MTV did a ton of documenting mainstream music and youth culture over the decades. It is a shame it is largely inaccessible.
Makes sense. I generally avoid anything Apple Cloud related; those products are not their strength...
On the bright side, having only one browser to support makes life a lot easier, too.
Imagine you hit the lottery at 25 and figured building autonomous death machines was a good way to live out your days. What a guy.
This was a workshop I gave in my https://llm.datasette.io/ CLI tool.

What other CLI tools are people using to work with LLMs in the terminal?

There one comment here about https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider and Ollama is probably the most widely used CLI tool at the moment: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/README.md#quickst...
Burns outs and drifting for the most part, assuming we're talking less then legal on public roads reasons.

On a manual ICE vehicle it makes some sense to since you need to hold some brake while raising engine RPM for until the clutch engages. Not really sure what reason there would be on an electric vehicle to command the main motors to accelerate while brakes are applied.
The world changed a lot, now our computers are surveilance tools.
Hm, I just looked up the timeline, and I don't see any conincidence. It's like:

6 March 2018, a U.S. grand jury charges Assange, but it is secret.
11 April 2019, Ecuador expels him from the embassy, the UK arrests him for skipping bail.
11 April 2019, the U.S. unseals the charges and asks for him to be extradited.
13 May 2019, Sweden re-opens the rape investigation because he is now potentially available to be extradicted again.
19 November 2019, Sweden closes the investigation because the evidence is too old.

There is no "same day" coincidence at all, and Assange was never free to walk because he would always face criminal prosecution in Britain for skipping bail.
The point is that 'rights' do not have to be justified on an economic basis.
Sure it will. Not immediately but gradually over time. If we decide it isn't worthwhile to prevent drowning deaths, educational and informational programs will go away. Novices won't fully understand the risks. Programs like my lakeside park has where free life jackets are available to borrow will disappear. People who might have considered swim lessons won't bother.
Heh. Get ready to be proven wrong.
Nit: flak
It's definitely less secure for issuers: The entire point of having a secure element is that the issuers of digital wallet cards and passes can't trust all of their users to not decompile their app and extract a private key that grants fraudsters infinite money or transit rides. Physical cards and secure elements on the other hand are resistant against key extraction even in an adversarial environment.

There are ways to mitigate that in software (e.g. by not ever loading long-lived keys into software, fetching them just in time after device attestation etc.), but while that works pretty well for the kind of payments where the terminal needs to be online anyway, it's very risky for offline transactions.

That's why Suica and most other stored-value passes only support iPhones and a handful of specific Android devices that have a secure element (or can use the SIM card as one).

2013, Bitcoin hits $1k: https://blog.zorinaq.com/1-bitcoin-1000-us-dollars/ "Sure a crash that would bring it back down to below $1,000 is possible or likely, but it would not change its long-term prospect, a few years from now, from being valued between $5,000 and $50,000 and possibly more."

from then, 4 years to $5k, 8 years to $50k.
I used pipx and used AnthropicAI's plugin to use Claude. After 2 weeks of perfectly working, suddenly I got the "this model is invalid" error.

PS: I appreciate the work put into llm tho, it's a neat program I used with my Automator scripts to bring LLMs to macOS before Apple Intelligence was announced. I just wish the stability was not a concern.
> “Real estate always goes up” is treated like a damn entitlement to the point that the financial well being of everyone under 40 today has been sacrificed to it. In 2008 it felt like the entire real economy was put on the chopping block to bail it out.

Real estate took a bath in 2008. So much that it scared developers and investors so much that they slowed building to ridiculous paces

If you want reasonable housing prices in the US you need either:

- to change demand so people want to leave today's dense and expensive cities and stop competing-up the prices. The "RTO is all about commercial real-estate" true-beleivers think remote work alone could do this, but the last few years aren't providing strong evidence of that. Density and geography have other appeals.

- or, some way to re-start massive construction in those in-demand areas to push rents and individual-unit pricing down... but in this case, the price of the real land would actually go way up (there's no development if there's no future value > present value)
Let us be clear that the notion of "change" being referred to here is forward compatibility, not backward compatibility. The user is commenting on the fact that Rust library authors make use of new features as they become available, and as a result in order to compile Rust code you will often need a recent version of the compiler, or otherwise you will need to find an older version of the library in question.

In addition Rust was born from Mozilla and imitates Firefox's rapid release schedule of one release per six weeks. This does not mean that Rust releases are substantial or that they are traumatizing, only that they are frequent. The contract with users is that Rust releases must be painless so as to not fatigue users and discourage them from upgrading. The success of this painless upgrade strategy is proved by the fact that library authors are so quick to upgrade, as mentioned.

This is in contrast to other languages where historically a new version of their compiler might only be released as infrequently as once per three years. It seems that these languages have begun taking queues from Rust as even Java now releases once per six months.
CDK didn't just run the DMS. They operated the physical networks at the dealerships, managed the the PCs, the phone system, even leased the dealers their printers. CDK was DEEPLY integrated into the dealerships.
Conclusion from Year 1 report:

While the findings outlined in this report indicate overall improvement for DBIP participants across many targeted outcomes, minimal differences were observed when comparing outcomes across the different payment groups. This may suggest that consistent cash assistance of even $50 can improve many aspects of one’s life. Or, as we heard through member checking, it was the aggregate of the whole DIBP program that made a difference for individuals. This means the trust conveyed by delivering guaranteed income, attention by community based organizational partner staff, phones and phone plans, and connections.

I think this effect is seen a lot in various psychological and well-being studies, I'm not sure if it has a name. But basically, if someone demonstrates they are interested in your well-being and stays in touch with you, it can often have an outsized positive effect on one's life, especially when connection and support have been difficult to find.
It's almost like capital has become so big that the investment money sloshing around looking for high returns at the expense of anything else, does not care if excessive capital ruins the early dot.com companies, real estate, crypto, generative AI or anything else.

We need an investor class that just wants to get their 50 pounds a year to maintain the country estate, not one that wants to vacuum up 80% of the economy in short term speculative bubbles.
Definitely true, but given that sales folks were always always always on, I'd argue they make less per hour than SEs do.
The law doesn't care about "traditional definitions". Anyone in the US can act as a journalist by simply publishing.
I'll give my unpopular opinion here: eliminate all extracurricular sports in American schools. There is too much money, time, and resources spent on materials, facilities, staff, and programming that only benefit a minority of the student population.

In other parts of the world there are sports clubs to accommodate those kids (and, eventually and more importantly, post-school adults) eager or talented enough to push their limits, and they can do it after school or on weekends.

The article above fails to mention the connection why a lot of parents subject their kids to year-round training. They're looking for the golden ticket to get their kid a college scholarship or, even less likely, fame and fortune in the NCAA and beyond. That system needs to be dismantled.

(Protip, to you young parents reading this: your kid will resent the pressure and 99.9% of the time they will outright quit the sport once they're out of your house. Think about how much time and money you've spent to date. Don't you wish you had those weekends back?)

My high school district alone employs multiple "vice principals" that are coaches for the big football team. They get the administrative title so they don't have to teach classes. They all make six figures plus a retirement pension, on top of a football stadium that costs a fortune to maintain for 12 games a year. And we're not even in Texas. =)

We also have an obnoxiously early start time, which has been proven time and time again to hurt student performance. Some kids are up at 6:00am to catch the bus. Why can't we move the start time later? After school sports.
Better yet, don't start!
No. The standard is zero. That's why the FAA investigates every crash or safety incident no matter how small. Realistically, the number will never be zero but if we don't put in the effort to improve constantly, safety will stagnate.
A lot of people here are questioning the data of the study, but don't actually seem to be looking at that data?

Yes, the control group, who received less money, also did well in some metrics, but in most metrics they also started off better, so the delta in their experience is in fact smaller.

Furthermore, the control group also experienced a drop in full-time employment, while both of the subject groups experienced gains.

I agree the headline isn't a useful representation of the importance of the data, but it does seem like this was a fairly impactful program.
I can't read the first article, but judging from the second:

> The sidewalk is “perennially covered in water and algae,” according to the complaint. Other Queen Anne residents testified in court that they had also fallen at this location.

It reads to me like the sidewalk was a public danger, the building owners were under the hook to maintain it but never cared, until literally getting sued.

What am I missing ?
I wonder what compression gains, are you serving the gziped version directly based on Accept-Encoding headers to avoid a decompression and compression? If not it would be possible to just use Store[1] to use the zip as a container format but not a compression format.

No, this is actually extremely simple to square up: In order for the rule of law to be protected, and to allow the public to hold government accountable for what it does in their names, it is necessary that the actions of the government are held to a much higher standard of legal scrutiny than individual citizens or the public.

This means that whistleblower immunity should be extremely strong and anything the government wants to do to prosecute whistleblower should have to pass many hurdles.

This doesn't conflict with the concept of checks and balances, rather it has to be an integral part of the checks and balances.

In fact, this rationale is so simple and self-evident to anyone who asks themselves how the rule of law can be upheld in the face of the potential for unlawful conduct by government actors that one should ask themselves if coming to the opposite conclusion does not require a strong dose of motivated reasoning.
Deadline looms for alleged LockBit extortion of Feds over 33TB of data
What’s interesting is that a lot of bio ML papers claim they can make new discoveries using their methods, but never actually make any new discoveries. Even high-end papers would stop at rediscovering some known biology rather than find something previously unknown.

Bio ML papers can spit out all sorts of predictions, but it’s hard to distinguish the nonesense with the real, and there is no sense of the false discovery rates.

If you want to convince non ML people about your method, go discover something new, unexpected, or surprising. You will convince people much more than gaming benchmarks.
This is simply not true. Any employer with 50 employees has a mandate to provide healthcare for employees.
You ain't gonna make it cheap, exactly, in those places. Look at Manhattan compared to Seattle - there's ALREADY far more dense housing in NYC than Seattle, yet prices stay high. People will be willing to pay more for those places with more amenities. That will continue.

But you're gonna make it a lot more livable and arrest the rate of inflation.
There’s a nice pure-rust ssh client/server already.

Systemd should just be scrapped. This week’s wtf “systemd-tmpfile —-purge” intentionally changed its behavior to “rm -rf /home”. Confirmed not-a-bug. There are dozens of other comparable screwups in that stack, even ignoring the long list of CVEs (including dns and ntp, I think). Rust can’t fix that.

I haven’t heard of any issues with jemalloc, though that seems reasonable (assuming calling rust from C doesn’t break compiler inlining, etc).
It seems brulenaudet that you have forgotten to set the repository as publicly visible.
Keep in mind that there was nothing indicating that the sun and the stars were of the same nature, or that they were so far away. When you think about it, all stars appear equally distant to the naked eye, so the idea that stars were fiery stones dispersed on a vast celestial sphere was absolutely plausible. This solid, physical sphere was the thing rotating.

Also people had little understanding of the scale of things. There is nothing indicating that the moon is smaller than earth or that the sun is much, much bigger than earth, and both appear equally large in the sky...
Thanks so much for taking time to share links and notes!
Style tip: You claimed "options for assassination", linked to an article presumably backing that claim up, and then quoted a part of that article that does not mention "assassination", but only the much weaker "abduction". I did eventually skim the article, and indeed it does contain the stronger "assassination" claim, but I very nearly didn't bother because, from your choice of quote, I was almost certain that you were merely wildly extrapolating from "abduction" to "assassination".
Something about this idea isn’t making sense to me, but I’m not a mechanic.

The emergency brake or the brake brake?

Maybe you just mean the wheels need not move?

I’m almost positive I would just drag the rear end of my car, a boring VW diesel. Did this in some gravel not paying attention, recently.

How does this test work in a manual?

Standing on the brake while letting out the clutch to see if it stalls is a way to tell if the clutch is dead.
Wonder how it syncopates with the high skirt / short skirt fashion cycle
From the recreational perspective (summer hiking / back-country skiing) - the forests are night and day difference. Having a map of what has been logged and what has not often is the difference between forests that are easy to travel through and forests that are harder. A forest that was clear cut will have trees that are much denser and tightly packed together but tend to be smaller in diameter. These are very hard to travel through (hiking or skiing) compared with the old growth forests.

I don't know a ton about forest ecology but my sense is that trees that do the best are a function of what's already there and that it takes much longer than 100 years for the pre-clear cut conditions to return.
A not very degen version of this is taking money that you might spend on your mortgage at a rate under 3%, and putting it somewhere safe that earns more than 5% (not hard to find).
Interesting; it's usually the other way around.

Real innovation would be for iOS devices to be interoperable with non-Apple technology.
Don't cry for JPMC. They most likely hedged the interest rate risk when they bought the bundle that included your mortgage (or some slice of it). I doubt that they are really underwater, at least not by much.
There were a bunch of photos of the kindle in question showing dodgy book names and cover art?
I did not say we shouldn't be logging in Washington -- just not in drinking water reservoirs (which we don't). DNR managed logging / the Campbell Global Snoqualmie tree farm seem like mostly a success.
Came to initially disagree but realized I was making the same point. Archiving is in the matter of public interest which defaults to government. Resolving the conflict, the internet archive should be absorbed into the library congress. It would be a win-win, the internet archive would have the backing it needs both financially and legally and the library of congress will be able to modernize and expand it’s already daunting mandate allowing them to gain further public awareness and legitimacy.
So we need a new flag for gcc that writes zeros to any block of allocated memory before malloc returns, not a new language.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing. I find this kind of tool really useful, Aider in particular. I made my own cli tool for interacting with GPT. It’s really useful with the -c flag for generating code especially bash commands I've forgotten

> [A]side from that, the application code itself was so hard to understand that I was seriously considering whether I was cut out for professional software development. It was just impossible to tell where things were defined, where data was coming from, when things were actually executing, etc.

If the enormous pile of Ruby projects that I and the folks I work with at $DAYJOB had been the things I was required to work on and maintain at my first dayjob, I would have (no joke) left the field to go become a lawyer.

I'm so, so, so glad that I started off with C++ and got to work at a couple of C++ shops which got me to understand in my bones the importance of good tests and comprehensible-to-a-mere-mortal code.

Oh yeah, definitely. After being worn down by the many years I've burned at my current position, I've become VERY skeptical of the "Let's use $LANGUAGE_OR_TOOL because it will make it easy to hire!" argument. The quality of the stuff that the average user of that tool produces matters A TON.

So it basically does nothing at all? Just from personal observation, it seems like that would make sense - there's a group of homeless people who are homeless due to circumstance, hate being homeless, and will try as hard as they can to only be homeless for a short time.

Then there's the other group, people with severe mental illness, drug addiction, who aren't rational and are chronically homeless because they basically can't function in society. You could give them as much money as you want and it wouldn't make much of a difference. What they need is to be put in some kind of permanent care.
Programming wise, we had a class where we had to write some image filters in pure x86_64 assembly using SIMD, it was quite hard to wrap your head around the model of vectorized operations, and more so to debug your code either with GDB or visually (sometimes you messed up slightly and the whole image was borked, sometimes the image looked perfect but it was slightly off-by-one and the tests wouldn't pass). This was just 1 of 3 projects, there was also one where you had to build a small 32 bits kernel though I had less of a bad time with that one (guess we got lucky writing the code, because debugging the GDT, etc. if you mess up a single value can be a PITA sometimes).

Moreover in the same class we also had exams, in one exercise you had to write more SIMD code in x86_64 (over images, strings of utf-8 characters, etc.) this was all in paper and no reference was allowed except the Intel Manuals; that was just one exercise there were more in systems programming, etc.

I also had a bad time with Prolog and Haskell in a Paradigms class though those exercises were a bit more bite-sized and streamlined.

Non-programming wise, I'm having the hardest time right now with a Numerical Methods class which involves a lot of proof-based linear algebra, induction over matrices, etc. I also had a bad time with a Logic and Computability class.
Or maybe they should manually see what they have in inventory. Why is that such a difficult thing to do? The alternative is that they can sit around with their thumbs up their asses and not sell any cars "because the puter is down."

Deliberate stupidity is not helpful. You know very well this discussion is regarding archival institutions, not a file format.
I do not think that can be so confidently asserted entirely one way or another with the information we have now, unless we have in our midst someone who is an expert in reading EPA reports.
> why the fuck should a government have the right to tell a company what they can and can't do with their product?!

I mean, do we really need to enumerate the reasons for you? Next you will think it's okay for someone to manufacture a car that can't be opened when the 12V battery dies.
That's what a message board does, you post a thing and people say things about it. Not necessarily nice things, if only nice things were said that would be kind of pointless.
