I thought he eventually did start producing merch, because there was a growing amount of bootleg merch and he realised that it was better to have official high quality products than let C&H become associated with poor quality (or something like that)? Could be misremembering though.
He's in an election against an opponent whose party is actively hoping to replace because he's old and senile and no one thinks he's capable of working under pressure.

Trump proved in two minutes that whatever else you can say about him, he's very capable of responding well to pressure.

Unfortunately, the election was absolutely decided today.
Hats off. Amazing effort. Great read. I haven’t used IDA on a game in a long while and this is next level effort. Bravo.
This is what finally drove me off Twitter. Not the acquisition, not the bots, not even the crypto-spam. It was the monetisation destroying any sense of good faith or genuine opinion. Just self-serving hot takes and engagement bait.
My hope is that they repurpose the mini form-factor into the SE model. I don’t want a budget phone, but I’m willing to tolerate it for the size.
> Do you think this footage falls under any of these categories?

Without knowing the details surrounding the talk, it's hard to say, but given that the NSA (not the Library of Congress, or the National Archives, or DEC, or some university) owns the tape, it's quite possible. What the NSA said is that they would have to listen to it to decide whether it falls under any of those categories. I think they do that (listen, read,...) to everything they release under FOIA, precisely because they deal with classified information.
Honestly, just try making buttermilk fried chicken at home. The Gordon Ramsay recipe is a great starting point, it's so freaking easy to make and you can mess with the spices you add to the flour no end to find your perfect flavour.

You end up with hot, tasty, crunchy fried chicken with a juicy center. You'll never eat KFC again once you've tried it.
The thing about Project 2025 is that it’s not Trump. It was produced by people far, far more competent at enacting their policies.
I had one of the predecessors to this (the Jelly 2) as one of my strategies to cut down on smart phone usage.

It was a nice idea (as it introduced pain points of using it as a distraction device), but the battery life ended up being abysmal to the point that I couldn't trust it to complete a day. Having a tiny smart phone and then having to take a battery pack for it was absurdity.

It also led me to appreciate how much I'd come to rely on always having a good camera in my pocket. The picture quality was poor enough that the photos would leave me feeling genuinely quite sad.
When do you think the American commons disappeared?
> I think this site epitomizes what I don't like about the internet. There's no whimsy, no sense of artistry or creativity or mystery or playfulness. You have a canvas to do anything and you choose to do nothing.

The data that is out there is reasonably promising with WebGPU already in use in some production ML inference engines. TVM of course is way ahead of the curve as usual - https://tvm.apache.org/2020/05/14/compiling-machine-learning... though this post is quite old now.

It's still early days for pushing compute use cases to WebGPU (OctoML being super early notwithstanding). There's a small matmul in the examples directory but it only has the most basic tiling optimizations. One of my goals the next few weeks is porting the transformer block kernels from llm.c - I think that will flesh out the picture far better. If there's interest, happy to collaborate + could potentially do a writeup if there's enough interest.

There's always some tradeoffs that comes with portability, but part of my goal with gpu.cpp is to create a scaffold to experiment and see how far we can push portable GPU performance.
That is fine. Nobody is pretending that the software side is perfect. What we and AMD are looking for is the early adopters willing to bet on a new (just available in April) class of hardware that is better than previous generations. Which, given the general status of AI itself today, should be pretty easy to find.
Now that I got your attention, let me (briefly) unpack (via cliche) what 082349872349872 might have meant with his HD.

"Prophets grow stronger when they die." --Villeneuve expressing his headcanon through Irulan, with B Herbert's approval.

My architect friends are not so in love with Jane Jacobs' <<Systems of Survival>> -- no mention of beauty, of quality!

Besides the Calvinist ancestor-worship, we might also consider the option of keeping the conversations flowing through non-survival. Heh. That's a lot of vanity, Bill.. but then, JJ could also have allotted Beauty* to the Guardians, especially since she handed the Merchants Truth. We left Heroism on the table..

> does not attract talent comparable to a middle-of-the-road Series A startup in San Francisco

LOL.

If you think that this should be the yard stick, you certainly think too highly of the tech industry, to the point of delusion.

SV VC startup land is the exception that proves the rule. It unfortunately gives everyone here a massively overinflated sense of worth.

“Everyone gets paid exactly what they’re worth”, “market forces”, blah blah blah. But the reality is that you just won’t find nearly as much easy, dumb money anywhere else. Hearing kids that’ve been spoiled by the SV startup scene whinge here about things that are completely typical of even the most cushy tech jobs jobs ANYWHERE ELSE is so telling.
Oh come on man. He clearly tried to subvert the last election and came within steps of his VP being killed by a mob he encoded while trying to certify the election. This isn’t just a fear campaign.
That will level out once Nostr is adopted by the wider user base. The content you see right now obviously is going to be reflective of the culture of the early adopters.
CS2 is considered by some to be a downgrade compared to CS:GO (yours truly included). I have heard reports of tournament PCs being unable to hold a decent FPS in CS2, whereas they worked great with CS:GO. You can find many user reports sharing similar results, even with higher-end PCs.

Valve wants CS2 to be seen as the continuation of CS:GO, and instead of making a better game to replace it naturally, they forced the change on their playerbase. I, and others, will be bitter about this for some time, as CS:GO is an excellent game.

And bad art and bad style can prevent the spread of information. Remember Hippocrates: first do no harm.
https should be used just about everywhere. We should no longer be assuming that we live in a world where people won't fuck with you. If you don't have https then someone can change your website so hard... that you're basically allowing someone to use your credibility to speak to your visitors.

The social engineering potential is limited only by imagination.
Sometimes you are able to vouch for articles, I think it depends on if it's flagged naturally or if it's flagged by an admin. I should add though that it being flagged by admins is less about political bias and more about the topic immediately resulting in a flame war.
Find and restore the necessary machine. Do up a blog/website about the project. Share the link on HN. The NSA nerds reading this will find it eventually and get in contact. (Everyone at NoSuchAgency is a total tech nerd. They all know about HN, even moreso than those at NotAnotherStupidAcronym.)
The challenge is trust, can you trust that an third party ROM hasn't been tampered with, and that third party maintaining the build for your device is often some guy on the internet you probably only know as a pseudonym. It might be the latest version, it might have some modifications that 'distro' of ROM applies to all their builds, some required per-device changes to make it work, but what degree of confidence is there that nothing else changed and the OS is lying to them?

The same applies to most open source efforts, but I think it's understandable for institutions with consequences to what their apps do (like handling money and bank accounts) to opt out of potentially being undermined by the OS when they have the means. There's also elements of phones being general purpose computers now vs locked down appliances, GPL3 vs tivoization, and so on.
For me, iPhone 5/5S/SE is the ideal size. I even seriously considered different ways to try to port Android to the SE, but while this would've been an interesting project, I decided that I have more useful things to work on.

The compilation to html is being done by pandoc, so I have no saying in how the tags are generated. I don't really know anything about web dev, so this is the best I can do :( I just write Latex and markdown and wrestle with pandoc to make an html out of those :D
Thank you. Reach out to me when you are ready, or try it out on something like runpod, by the hour. We will eventually have by the hour as well, we just are not there yet.
I want open source OSes, giving the possibility of hobbyist communities that upgrade on their own

current open source android roms will disable many features because they are proprietary. even roms that include proprietary code, like lineageos, will disable many features anyway because they can't make it work while updating the android version

open source should be mandatory. let the rest up to the users (if there is a strong enough community)

Spend less time watching social and mass media. You've been brainwashed.
A fun little adventure and a break from the normal school stuff. And you could shoot buffalo. Pretty much all of America grew up playing this a few times during "library time" at school.

It was a time before anyone had a 3D online multiplayer video game system at home. Before home internet. People were not raised on tablets so seeing the screen react to your input was still a magical moment.

I don't feel it helped much with history. Other than solidifying the "Oregan trail" happened into everyone's head.
Oh yes, you're right!
lol. Typical of someone that “works in entertainment” to incorrectly condescendingly explain something that everyone else already knows about and deals with at their jobs.
Oh, I just don't know how to do that. I just use pandoc to convert latex to html, and I am not very familiar with the tool. I'll look into that, but if I pre-render, will the background color of the images match that of the website?
RIP Redbox, a Bad Idea at the Worst Time
This is one of the many reasons why systems used for mining crypto did not transition into an AI role. The hardware requirements were totally different.

I had a hard time convincing my rather non-technical bosses of this in my previous company.

Prompt-fu sounds cool
I genuinely don't believe anyone that came up with such a cringy plan is competent, at least not politically so. When even Trump denounces your ramblings, when you specifically made the plan to pander to trump... That's incompetence, especially since he's very very easy to please with enough brown nosing.
Does generative AI facilitate investor trading? Evidence from ChatGPT outages
Your wishful thinking is wisting away. When tens of millions of people base their real-world behaviors and beliefs from their social media experience, the influence of those feeds seep into our collective reality. Look at the last 10 years for concrete evidence.
I find it kind of sad that there’s no diversification of venture capital away from this one area. In the age of remote work this concentration just feels unnecessary.

Hot data is not such a problem with hot security. It’s when your security freezes that it becomes an issue.
Former President as in Trump. He was shot at. It appears from the video that something grazed his ear. He was bleeding from a wound on his right ear, as Secret Service marched him off the rally stage.

One other person has been killed in the shooting.
This seems similar to soil amendment approaches like you can get from your local big box store. I wonder if it works the same way like Scott’s Lawn Soil.
There is no scenario where every mile of road is outfitted with buried power lines, especially considering not every mile of road has elevated power lines. What a nonsensical comment.
I still use an iPhone SE (original 2016 version), probably the most beautiful phone ever and quite functional, though this year it finally stopped being supported by a lot of apps due to its iOS. Surprisingly, most apps work just fine until they are just removed from availability. (I'm not gaming on it or anything!) It is the perfect size and with no notifications enabled, is dang near ideal as long as you don't need great photos (but if Apple ever returned the form factor which will obviously never happen, I am sure a decent camera is viable). That said, I really can't believe we are still stuck with these devices, which are mostly anti-social and too tempting to distraction. Though Humane was laughable, some kind of thing that gives me access to information when I need it but otherwise doesn't really interrupt the flow of life would be pretty awesome.
In India that is the story with Motorola phones. They have started making decent hardware, as in competing with others, but they sometimes don't even respect updates for their flagship phones. And then, they are not alone in this.

The original C&C was in fact based on Dune II, the OG RTS game that came out in 1992. The cutscenes from Dune II are still burned into my memory, what a great game it was.
You use statistics.

Demanding the answer for specific storms is like demanding to know whether a smoker's lung cancer was caused by smoking. Maybe?? But we know in aggregate smoking caused an enormous amount of deaths. We can measure the number of smoking-induced deaths, and the number of climate-changed-induced storms.
There always seems to be an excuse as to why America is exceptional and things accomplished routinely in other countries couldn't possibly work here. It's true to a degree. They absolutely cannot work here. But that's more about our political dysfunction than anything meaningful about our geographical situations.
This reminds of my Huawei Ideos with Android Froyo back in 2010. It's that many years. Right now I am typing this from Pixel 4a it's strangely noticeable how phones became big, powerful, and lost some buttons and audio jack.

Reports are that Trump is okay.

Politically I disagree with so much of what Trump says and does but I would never wish this on him. We can't let the extremists on either side win.

Reading JSON that contains a sort of hash tree already. It’s a simple format that contains a mess of hashes that need verifying over certain files.

Adding a rule that you hash the files in question in, say, 1 MiB chunks and hash the resulting hashes (and maybe that’s it, or maybe you add another level) is maybe 10 lines of code in any high level language.
If it's true that the company had no backups of their production database, then the engineer was nearly blameless. The CTO should have been fired. If there was no CTO, then the Board Of Directors should have asked the CEO why they felt they were competent to run a software company without a CTO. If the CEO was technical enough to take responsibility for technical decisions, then the CEO should have been fired or severely reprimanded.

If a software company is making money, but developers develop against the production database, and there are no backups, then its the leadership that is at fault. The leadership deserves severe criticism.
Maybe many people don't need "most apps."

This risks eventually degenerating into a mostly-indiscriminate process like DMCA takedowns, since it's costly to verify likeness, intent, and all that. They'll probably ironically end up using AI for verification, which could be defeated with enough skill or organization.
You're calling it a "documentary movie"?
It's a fear campaign, and the leaders of the Democratic party know it.

Trump regularly behaves completely irresponsibly and is a terrible loser, and Trump is definitely capable of (intentionally and otherwise) inciting violence, but if you compare the actions of the Democratic leadership to their rhetoric you can clearly see they don't believe the full extent of their own rhetoric about him.

They play up the apocalyptic fears for democracy itself because they know it's the only card they have left after nominating Biden. If they were serious about protecting democracy they'd have kicked him out last year when there was still time to build momentum for an electable candidate, rather than continuing to protect his ego. If they were serious about protecting democracy they would have tried harder to court the moderate voters (who are very courtable right now if anyone cared to try). If they were serious about protecting democracy they would have done anything other than focus exclusively on how terrible Trump is for the last four years, because they know that you don't beat a fire by fanning it. They would have deescalated, but instead they escalated, and they absolutely share responsibility for this.
And thus their additional challenges are caused by their absolute neglect of urban planning. If only someone could have predicted that spreading single family housing over hundreds of square miles was going to create a maintenance nightmare.

Thanks. Smh.
didn't say I was. And the fact that you dodged the question kinda indicates your answer is "no."
Curious how the shooter missed though. And just, how they seem to miss quite often in general.
Secret Service have said it was a teleprompter shattering that injured Trump, not a bullet itself.
Nirsoft utilities are invaluable. I usually always pull down some of their tools on a new build. DNS sniffer is one I use often these days to blacklist domains using Pihole.

It might, but the FOIA process might also be the best (or only) process that allows the NSA to practically release the tapes.

Even a bureaucratic process that is a poor fit for a problem at hand can be easier for a bureaucratic organization to handle than an ad-hoc, nonstandard request. Trying through FOIA first certainly seems reasonable.

Just one anecdote. We lived through the deracho in Iowa, one of the places hardest hit. Huge swaths of the city was without power for weeks. In our house, in the middle of the most damage, was without power for under 24 hours. That's a massive difference. I don't know how much the calculations take into account physical damage versus all up damage including lost productivity. But many of the folks working at the local company were back "in the office" working from home because the business was without power far longer than most of the employees. I have no idea how the overall damages are calculated.

I use a Pixel 4 in https://ghostek.com/products/atomic-slim-pixel-4-series which is very nice because the bumper frame rises above the screen so when you drop it the screen doesn't break.

It's worth noting that as of 8:48p ET, Trump appears to be alive, the shooter appears to have been killed, and at least one person in the crowd appears to have been killed.

This has large downstream ramifications on the job market, as this sways the election, which will affect federal fund target rate (we saw similar executive branch pressure against fed in late 2018).

After 20+ years in tech, the only time I have ever seen a developer fired for making a mistake was when he leaked credentials because he used one of our repos as the base for an interview project at another company (on a day when he was allegedly working from home). We had a hardcoded key in our package.json to allow it to access a private repo, and he pushed that to a public repo which had an incriminating name like company-x-interview-project-hisname.

We immediately got an email from Github because they scan for such things. We rotated our keys within a few minutes, and he was gone the next day.

Obviously we should have been more careful with our keys, so all would have been forgiven if not for the fact that he leaked keys while looking for another job on company time.

Hi, loved your previous work on languages (Magpie, etc.). Any update on the statically typed language you were working on? Is it still in progress? The syntax for dealing with Sum types was pretty ingenious.
