> after working with and meeting many more Romanians

Just want to mention that Roma and Romanians are two different peoples. I have also worked with a bunch of Romanians, and I agree they are just like everybody else. Though I’m a little confused why there is both the Italian looking type of Romanian and the Dracula looking type. I’ve never looked into the history there. I don’t think either one is Roma broadly speaking (though there are Roma in Romania I believe, as there are in Germany and elsewhere).

I think the issue people have with groups like the Roma isn’t that they are fundamentally defective or something like that. It’s that they don’t consider themselves to be part of the broader national society, and so they put the interests of their own group above the interests of those outside of their group, to the extent that they may go so far as to harm those outside of the group to benefit those inside the group.

This is actually a very natural human tendency, and I think it has to be socialized out of most people during childhood, or else they would do it too (assuming they had a group to do it with).

It’s basically the same as how Americans put their interests above the interests of people from most other countries. Except instead of happening between people in different countries, it happens between people in the same country.

"Create a simple website" has to be one of the most common blog / example out there in about every programming language.

It can automate stuff? That's cool: I already did automate screenshots and then AI looking if it looks like phishing or not (and it's quite good at it).

I mean: the "Claude using Claude" may seem cool, but I dispute the "for coding" part. That's trivial stuff. A trivial error (which it doesn't fix btw: it just deletes everything).

'Claude, write me code to bring SpaceX rockets back on earth"

or

"Claude, write me code to pilot a machine to treat a tumor with precision"

This was not it.
It’s only a guess, but I don’t think data is on your side. I seriously doubt that appreciative users “will, of their own accord with your nagging” rate apps. I’d bet it’s less than 2% who do

This year when I checked my voter registration I noticed that the “phone number” field in my profile was not marked as required, and there was a little info icon that said “this is public information” when I clicked on it.

I removed my phone number and the number of text messages diminished (not all the way, but noticeably better). Not a magic bullet, but worth checking.

The vast majority of people I know who dislike AI art (including myself) are people who love tech, but hate how this tech has been trained on the art of human artists without credit or compensation… and then on top of that it’s being used to replace those artists and reduce their job prospects! It’s easy to see why this sucks if you take a step back.
More accurately: primitives from the aws-lc library (written in C and assembly, with tests in C++) outperform the OpenSSL and BoringSSL implementations they are based on, on some platforms.
Yep, back when programming language syntax started trending toward more natural language, compiler development was considered AI research. Which makes sense, because in an era of assembly on punch cards, computers that could translate higher-level instructions that read more like English into machine code you used to have to write (or punch) by hand probably felt pretty intelligent.
> Neither system is perfect, but the latter captures a wider range of views within society.

In the FPTP system in the US, you end up with two "big tent" parties with broadly opposing views. What makes you suggest that this model does not sufficiently capture the width of views within society?

> Germany is a stable constitutional federal republic with proportional representation and power vested in the Bundestag. No reason why the US can't have the same.

There is a lot to admire about Germany, but that vaunted stable constitutional federal republic just about committed economic suicide via an over-reliance on cheap Russian gas and zealous persecution of domestic nuclear. It now has the weakest prospects among its peer nations. Their governing model isn't a guarantee of good decisions.
Great.
I implemented my own simple prototype, a python script that edits my clipboard. I used the pyperclip module and a yaml file with a list of key words to substitute.
Substitution is necessary rather than removal, so that the AI's responses are still useful.

I got basic functions working but there are some nice-to-have things missing.

E.g. bidirectional info preservation. Ideally if i change /my_full_name/ file path, I want it to be translated to /john_doe/ and when the LLM gives back its response, I want to be able to paste /my_full_name/ back.

Also, preferably it would be highly automated, where I have to manually run my script to edit my clipboard.
Also, nice to have it work for non manual cases such as when using aider-chat.

Further down the line, automated redaction of screenshots.
That's also my understanding, and nicotine has some other strange health benefits - for instance, it's a better schizophrenia treatment (for symptom relief) than the actual medications for it, which is why almost all schizophrenics smoke.

On the other hand, I just looked at Twitter and saw two different people get ~$3000 payments from a class action lawsuit against Juul, which is by far the biggest payment I've ever heard of from a class action signup, so I suspect they're about to die.
I would have liked to see a giant ppt of an agentic framework or architecture.

The "computer use" ability is extremely impressive!

This is a lot more than an agent able to use your computer as a tool (and understanding how to do that) - it's basically an autonomous reasoning agent that you can give a goal to, and it will then use reasoning, as well as it's access to your computer, to achieve that goal.

Take a look at their demo of using this for coding.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH2f7cjXjKI

This seems to be an OpenAI GPT-o1 killer - it may be using an agent to do reasoning (still not clear exactly what is under the hood) as opposed to GPT-o1 supposedly being a model (but still basically a loop around an LLM), but the reasoning it is able to achieve in pursuit of a real world goal is very impressive. It'd be mind boggling if we hadn't had the last few years to get used to this escalation of capabilities.

It's also interesting to consider this from POV of Anthropic's focus on AI safety. On their web site they have a bunch of advice on how to stay safe by sandboxing, limiting what it has access to, etc, but at the end of the day this is a very capable AI able to use your computer and browser to do whatever it deems necessary to achieve a requested goal. How far are we from paperclip optimization, or at least autonomous AI hacking ?
> AI produces images that don't make physical sense

Der Kuss is an oil-on-canvas painting with added gold leaf, silver and platinum. It is widely praised and held in high regard.

To me, it looks like the man has a broken neck, and the woman's been decapitated, her head rotated 90° and reattached to her torso by the ear.

This isn't to say that AI art is flawless on the first go — just that quite a lot of famous "good" art has exactly that specific flaw too.

Even though GenAI is getting better, and even though competent users know how to work around this with the right kinds of effort, normal people don't study the thing they want to get an image of before asking an AI to make it for them, and therefore will generally fail to notice when the image they've just made is still very wrong at at least one entire layer of abstraction about how the things it's depicting function or relate to each other.
Im not sure the project makes economic sense even if the power were free.

Typical wholesale contract prices for solar production in the US are on the order of $0.04-0.05/kwh.

If this $17B cable delivers the full 1.75 gigawatts for 12 hours a day for 20 years, the transmission cost alone is $0.055/kwh.

This doesnt even take into account the time value of money, which would radically increase the cost. The line would have to charge $0.30/kwh for transmission to break even with a 5% interest rate. [1]

These people are the greatest hypocrites of our time. They want all the financial benefits of free speech and none of the negatives for themselves personally.

Their platforms are basically foreign interference and misinformation backdoors into our society, they've done an insane amount of damage and this move by them, proves how problematic and invasive their own products actually are. However, for these people, they can just "turn off the problem" because they literally own the platform.
And how do you measure the length of a burning rod (that's moving past by you at a considerate speed) in the face of relativity of simultaneity? I guess it's impossible, and so the very concept of length must be meaningless.

To actually try to answer your question: I don't know. But that's just me; and ain't there some interesting experimental setups with super-cooled crystals? In any case, inability to imagine something is hardly a convincing proof of anything.
> Why it has the power is a historical question

I don't think history is necessary. With Apple alone being around 25% of their income [1], them losing a fraction of the money from the US would almost certainly be worse than losing whomever the US doesn't like at the moment.

I agree with that entirely. Using the current tools available to make your life easier while picking up a decent pay check is a no brainer. I probably expect my next job is using said tools primarily followed by complete redundancy.

By that point, having never used any of the tools makes you almost no different from anyone off the street.

In a way I welcome it. Writing the same menial code as everyone else slightly differently becomes a pretty stale existence.

> Perplexity is much better, both for a summary of what I'm looking for, and for finding non-garbage links.

So AI can summarize the news for you. But how does it do it? It steals the news from actual people and organizations. We're all selfish beings who want to save time and/or effort but what do you think happens to Perplexity if it had no access to news organizations? What's the end outcome here?
I think it's fine to recommend Tidal on this basis. However, you should realize that what you're hearing has nothing to do with the compression.

- "Does the rule apply to private citizens? "

The rules do not apply to "reviews that appear on a website or platform as a result of the business merely engaging in consumer review hosting." 16 CFR § 465.2(d)(2) (2024) They apply (paraphrased) to things someone is paying someone else to say. Things people write about products without being paid to write them are uncontroversially First Amendment-protected opinion.

https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/federal-register-no... (starts on page 153)

- "penalizing private citizens "who don’t have experience with the business or product/services, or misrepresent their experience". They may mean that businesses can't engage people to write such reviews."

I'm not a lawyer, but I think the AP article actually misstated the law. The multiple paragraphs related to this only seem to cover the case where a review "materially misrepresented... that the reviewer used or otherwise had experience with the product". The way the AP paraphrased this is different. They separated out "or misrepresent" with an "or", but it's not separate.

> You’re effectively subsidizing the acquisition of power by interested parties with taxpayer money, while simultaneously cementing an additional incumbent advantage for those already seated and able to write the rules for the public funding of elections.

This is a very good point. And if we can generalize: it's very difficult to regulate something in a way that does not eventually advantage those already inside over those on the outside looking to come in; industry regulations, rent control, minimum wage, etc.
> In this case I doubt they're networked apps so they probably don't have a server API.

I think it would be very unusual this decade for software used to run either a medical practice or tax accountants to not be networked. Most such practices have multiple doctors/accountants, each with their individual computer, and they want to be able to share files, so that if your doctor/accountant is away their colleague can attend to you. Managing backups/security/etc is all a lot easier when the data is stored in a central server (whether in the cloud or a closet) than on individual client machines.

Just because it is a fat client MFC-based Windows app doesn’t mean the data has to be stored locally. DCOM has been a thing since 1996.

People will endlessly argue over what "incite violence or general harm" actually mean, and they will also endlessly argue over if something should be considered an implied "characteristics of age, sex, orientation, race, etc".

Currently there is an ongoing court case regarding the case where a person criticized and made offensive statements about Muhammad, and if that should count as inciting violence or general harm against Muslims. One side is arguing that any negative statements about Muhammad is veiled statements directed against Muslims as a group, and the other side is arguing it is criticism against the religion and not about people who believe in that religion. People did similar arguments with Monty Python movie Life of Brian.

When it comes to symbols like flags, people often characteristic any action (positive and negative) as a form of hate speech if they dislike it, or as important symbolic gestures when they like it. Burning flags get often called hate speech, and forbidding people from waving flags (including general rules against all flags for specific events) has also been called hate speech.
Well I guess this is a good win for short term energy infrastructure, though I'm always pretty torn when its at the cost of ripping open huge swaths of earth to get at the raw material.

It is interesting to see how much of this data could be modelled based on wastewater brines from other industries in the area, assuming we go on to mine the lithium it will say a lot if the ML predictions prove accurate.

One thing I couldn't tell, and its probably just a limitation of how much time I could spend reading the source paper, is what method would be needed to extract the bulk of the lithium expected to be there. If processing brine water is sufficient that may be easier to control externalities than if they have to strip mine and get all the overburden out of the way first.
I am not sure you and I have the same definition of autodidact :-)

> Germany is a stable constitutional federal republic with proportional representation and power vested in the Bundestag. No reason why the US can't have the same.

Germany's second most popular party is labeled a "suspected extremist group", there are discussions of banning it altogether, and the entire rest of the political establishment unites to ensure they are kept out of actual power.

When you even have a second-most-popular party that can be labeled an extremist group, I'm not going to call you a "stable" country. In general, the feature of parliamentary democracies where the "wrong" election runner-up is totally shut out also makes it seem not any different in practice than the US system. It's nice that the "right" runner-ups will be a part of a governing coalition, but this is also already effectively the way the US works, as party discipline is not nearly as strong.

Democratic institutions are a problem throughout the west right now, and I would definitely not be looking at Germany as a model. Not sure who would be. People say good things about Swiss governance, but I don't know enough of the situation there.
A rich stdlib establishes patterns and provides standard types for other libraries and frameworks, making the whole thing generally more consistent as opposed to something like the Node.js ecosystem, which looks and feels more like a bunch of random parts crudely fitted together through copious use of duck tape and glue.
if I were creating a BMI for weather, another data point I would add would be max UV index. And ofc, have my 'ideal temperature' (I'll say 70) and then a max and min preferred temperature. And then maximum precip and snow inches.
And then the formula for me would be how far each of those preferred numbers are from the places actual numbers (e.g. how far below my preferred min, above my max etc.)

I'm super proud of the work that the aws-lc team have been doing. Insanely powerful optimizations on many platforms (not least Graviton!) ... and those optimizations are formally generated or formally verified (see https://github.com/awslabs/s2n-bignum and https://github.com/awslabs/aws-lc-verification for directly related work) and also make massive improvements to the constant-timeness of the operations, which is important for mitigating side-channels.

I suspect most of the team would tell anyone "We have to write this in Assembly and C, but you don't have to! Rust is what we prefer to see at the application layer."
LibreSSL also has focused on removing code which is viewed as being actively bad (poor/problematic reimplementations of stdlib features), or less valuable or not aligned with OpenBSD's goals (ex: FIPS support).

It's probably worth benching just to see the impact of these changes - the fork happened around the same time as BoringSSL, which as these graphs show has quite different perf characteristics.
